About this map

Yazoo City serves as the focal point for this Mississippi Delta landscape, situated where the Yazoo River meets the distinctive bluff line. The 1961 survey documents a dense network of rural community institutions, reflecting the era's segregated social geography through numerous named schools and churches such as Peter Simmons Sch, Holly Green Sch, and Mt Salem Sch & Ch. The land use is clearly divided between the alluvial floodplains to the west, marked by Wolf Lake and Broad Lake, and the dissected uplands to the east.
