1974 Map of Sumner NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Quiver River meanders in tight, dramatic oxbows across this 1974 orthophoto, revealing the intensive agricultural patterns of the Mississippi Delta. This aerial perspective, captured by the Geological Survey, provides a clear view of the rural landscape before modern development altered these traditional field boundaries. The small settlement of Rome sits along the western edge, positioned near the rail-aligned corridor that defined many Delta towns. Further south, the map includes a portion of Parchman, offering a stark visual record of the land use associated with this localized geography. The stark contrast between the wooded riverbanks and the vast, geometric clearings of the surrounding farmland illustrates the complete transformation of the alluvial plain into a productive agricultural engine.
