1966 Map of Sunflower
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Big Sunflower River winds through the heart of this Delta landscape, defining a region where the water's path and the rail lines dictated the placement of towns and churches. In the mid-1960s, the town of Sunflower served as a central hub along the Illinois Central railroad, surrounded by a dense network of country churches like King Solomon Ch, McKinney Chapel, and Duncan Chapel. The landscape is a complex system of oxbow lakes and wetlands, including Binson Lake, Gorman Lake, and Shackelford Lake, reflecting the ancient movements of the river.
