About this map

Leland serves as the central hub of this 1969 survey, situated at the intersection of the Illinois Central Railroad lines and several major bayous. The landscape is defined by the alluvial patterns of the Mississippi Delta, with Deer Creek and Bogue Phalia meandering through a patchwork of agricultural fields and experimental tracts. To the northwest, the Delta Experimental Forest marks a significant area of managed woodland, while numerous small settlements like Arcola, Elizabeth, and Tralake dot the rail corridors. The social fabric of the era is visible through an exceptionally high density of rural religious and community sites, including Kindling Altar Ch, St Paul Ch, and the Mt Zion Cem Ch. Evidence of much older habitation appears at the Indian Mounds located near Tribbett, offering a look at the historical depth of the Washington County terrain before modern drainage and levee systems fully transformed the basin.
