About this map

The Big Sunflower River and Black Bayou define the alluvial landscape of the Mississippi Delta in this 2015 survey, where the border between Coahoma and Sunflower counties is marked by the small settlements of Baltzer and Lombardy. A intricate grid of roads, many bearing the Parchman name such as Parchman 2 Rd and Parchman 28 Rd, crisscrosses the low-lying terrain, reflecting the area's long-standing agricultural and institutional history.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented across the quadrangle, including Mount Olive Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and Pilgrim Rest Cem. The southern reach of the map features significant water bodies like Long Lake and Millen Lk, while the community of Fitzhugh sits at the eastern edge near Bear Bayou. The map illustrates a region where water management and road networks are essential to the rural economy and land use.
