About this map

Bogue Phalia winds through this section of the Mississippi Delta, anchoring a landscape defined by its intricate drainage network and agricultural partitions. The 1967 survey reveals a rural society centered around small settlements like Tribbett, Bourbon, and Tralake. The cultural footprint is heavily marked by a dense concentration of community churches and cemeteries, including Mt Zion Ch, Kindling Altar Ch, and St John Ch, often located near the winding courses of Sixmile Bayou and Deep Slough.

A notable archaeological presence is found in the Indian Mounds in the northern portion of the quadrangle, suggesting ancient habitation along these waterways long before the modern field lines were drawn. The map also captures infrastructure such as a Radio Tower and a Landing Strip, highlighting the mid-century integration of technology into the traditional river-and-slough topography of Washington and Sunflower Counties.
