About this map

Limerick sits at the heart of this riverine landscape, where the Yazoo River defines the southern reach of the Delta. This area is characterized by an intricate network of landings and bayous that once served as the primary conduits for commerce and communication. Historic river access points like Sherrards Old Landing, Rough and Ready Landing, and Pauls Landing trace the shifting banks of the river, marking the locations of former docks and steamboat stops. The presence of multiple family-named burial grounds, including John Roberson Cem and Banks Cem, provides a map of the local genealogy and settlement patterns. Further inland, the landscape is segmented by engineering features like Whittington W Levee Rd and Whittington E Levee Rd, which parallel water bodies like Deep Bayou and Five Mile Lake, illustrating the ongoing effort to manage the Delta's natural drainage.
