1974 Map of Sumner NW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Quiver River meanders in tight, dramatic oxbows across this Mississippi Delta landscape, defining a terrain of intense agricultural geometry. This 1974 orthophotoquad captures the stark contrast between the winding natural watercourse and the rigid grid of modern plantation-scale farming. In the western portion of the sheet, the small settlement of Rome sits along the rail line, while further south lies the community of Parchman. The aerial perspective reveals how the alluvial plain has been thoroughly organized into large, rectangular fields, with only thin ribbons of timber remaining along the banks of the river's loops and cutoffs. This document provides a clear look at land-use patterns in Tallahatchie County during the mid-1970s, showing the intersection of rural life and industrialized cotton and soybean production.
