1939 Map of Swan Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Leroy Percy State Park serves as a focal point in this landscape of the Mississippi Delta, where the meandering course of Deer Creek and Black Bayou dictates the placement of early 20th-century settlements. This survey by the Corps of Engineers documents a region defined by its complex drainage and agricultural infrastructure, featuring the Mississippi Valley (Central Illinois) railroad line connecting numerous small communities. Notable for its archaeological presence, the map identifies several Indian Mounds and an Indian Mound scattered near Hollandale and Panther Burn. The transition between Washington County and Sharkey County is marked by a network of bayous and oxbow features like Swan Lake and Moon Lake. Cultural landmarks including Rosehill Ch and Little Rock Ch provide vital points of reference for genealogists tracing family roots near plantations and whistle-stops such as Nitta Yuma and Estill.
