1939 Map of Talla Bena
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Tallulah serves as the focal point of this late 1930s landscape, characterized by the intricate drainage patterns of Madison Parish and the shifting course of the Mississippi River. The map reveals a transition from traditional river landings like Millikens Bend Ldg and Morancy or Rose Hill Ldg to land-based infrastructure including the Missouri Pacific and Illinois Central railroads. A significant information-gain insight is found in the recorded Meander Line 1822 and the Cut-Off 1934, which illustrate how engineering and natural forces redrew the Louisiana-Mississippi state line over a century. The landscape is dotted with evidence of early habitation at numerous Indian Mounds and Indian Mound sites, while scientific and civic development is represented by the U S D A Delta Lab and the local Fair Ground.
