1961 Map of Yazoo City

Rural life is densely documented through a network of country churches and schools, such as Mt. Salem Sch & Ch and Peter Simmons Sch. Small settlements like Jonestown, Carter, and Benton serve as local hubs, while the landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks and cemeteries like Smith's Cem. The map provides a look at the transition from traditional river-and-rail dependency toward modern industry, including the Barrier Airfield and numerous pumping plants required to manage the delta's complex drainage system.
