1910 Map of Walnut Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1910

About this map

Whiteoak Bayou and the Coldwater River define this segment of the Mississippi Delta, surveyed shortly after the turn of the century by the Tallahatchie Drainage Commission. This era was characterized by significant efforts to manage the wetlands of Tunica and Quitman Counties, where the landscape is a network of crescent-shaped oxbow lakes and winding bayous. Small agrarian settlements and industrial sites like Gerlach Mill and Cox Camp sit along the high ground of the natural levees. The prominent arc of Walnut Lake is a focal point of the area, serving as the namesake for the Walnut Lake School. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of smaller points such as Dubbs, Pink, and Hally, providing a clear view of the rural habitation patterns before modern agricultural industrialization fully reshaped the river basin.
