USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
The Tallahatchie River and its intricate drainage network define the alluvial character of this Mississippi Delta landscape during the early 1930s. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Corps of Engineers documents a region deeply shaped by agricultural and institutional settlement, most notably featuring the State Reservation at Parchman. The map is an exceptional resource for genealogists and local historians, pinpointing numerous African American community landmarks, including the Brooks Rosenwald Sch and the Jacobs Chapel Sch.
