1939 Map of Yokena

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Mississippi River and its shifting backwaters define this stretch of the lower valley, where the 1933 engineering of the Diamond Cut-off altered the river's course near Oak Bend. Settlement follows the high ground and the corridor of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad, which connects hamlets like Yokena and Warrenton to the regional hub at Vicksburg. The map reveals a landscape heavily shaped by local education and faith, evidenced by numerous country schoolhouses and churches such as Hardscrabble Sch and Campbell Chapel.
