1981 Map of Tunica

About this map

Tunica and its agricultural surroundings are captured here at a time of established infrastructure along the eastern bank of the Mississippi River. The landscape is dominated by the intricate hydrology of the Delta, featuring the massive oxbow of Tunica Lake and numerous bayous like McKinney Bayou and White Oak Bayou. Settlement patterns follow the high ground and the corridor of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad, which connects the county seat at Tunica with smaller communities such as Evansville and Tunica North.
