1967 Map of Tribbett

About this map

Meandering waterways like Bogue Phalia and Sixmile Bayou define the agricultural landscape of Washington and Sunflower Counties in the late 1960s. The settlement pattern is deeply rooted in local community institutions, evidenced by a dense network of country churches and cemeteries such as Kindling Altar Ch and Bethlehem Cem. Significant evidence of early habitation is found in the northern portion of the map at the Indian Mounds near the Bogue Phalia Cutoff. Small rural centers like Tribbett, Bourbon, and Tralake serve as anchors in a terrain marked by complex drainage features like Deep Slough and Cypress Slough. The map also documents modern utility and transport infrastructure, from a prominent Radio Tower to a local Landing Strip, illustrating the evolution of the Mississippi Delta's rural economy.
