About this map

The Illinois Central railroad serves as the spine of this Mississippi Delta landscape, connecting the primary settlements of Tutwiler and Dublin. This 1967 survey captures a region defined by its meandering waterways, including the winding course of Cassidy Bayou, Hopson Bayou, and Walnut Bayou. These streams create a complex network of natural levees where much of the area's development and infrastructure is concentrated.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from family-named resting places like Bower Cem and Cribb Cem to numerous local congregations such as Thomas Chapel, Mt Eagle Ch, and New Galilee Ch. The transition of the local economy is evidenced by the presence of the Williams Airport and a Gravel Pit, alongside traditional community centers like the Dublin Sch and Hopson Bayou Sch. The map also meticulously records the political geography where Tallahatchie Co, Coahoma Co, and Quitman Co meet.
