1976 Map of Sun NE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Pearl River snakes in tight, complex oxbows through the center of this 1976 orthophotoquad, defining a heavily forested corridor along the Mississippi and Louisiana border. This aerial perspective, prepared from 1976 photography, reveals the stark contrast between the dense vegetation of the river bottomlands and the cleared agricultural plots and timber tracts on the higher ground. Unlike a traditional topographic map, this imagery provides a direct view of the land surface as it appeared in the mid-1970s, showing the precise footprints of rural homesteads and the network of logging roads and local lanes. The small settlement of Henleyfield sits on the eastern side of the river, while the area around Lees Creek anchors the northwestern portion of the sheet. The image preserves the specific clearing patterns and riparian morphology of the river valley before later development or natural shifts altered the channel.
