1983 Map of Webb
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Sumner and Webb serve as the primary population centers in this Delta landscape, linked by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad and the meandering path of Cassidy Bayou. The map illustrates a region deeply defined by its water management and agricultural heritage, featuring extensive levee systems and a network of drainage including Snow Brake and the Tallahatchie River. Numerous rural spiritual and educational landmarks are visible, such as Brooklyn Ch, Old Bethel Ch, and the Sumner West District High Sch. The presence of large-scale landholdings like Rainbow Plantation and smaller settlements like Sharkey and Albin suggests the established cotton-growing economy of the early 1980s. Local aviators utilized the Falls Landing Strip and Twilight Landing Strip, reflecting the rural transportation patterns of Tallahatchie County before modern consolidation.
