About this map

The low-lying Yazoo Delta landscape around Limerick is defined by an intricate network of drainage channels and historic trails that crisscross the wetlands. The modern engineering of the Will M. Whittington Auxiliary Channel and the Yazoo River provide the primary hydrologic framework for the region, managed alongside extensive pipelines like the Texas Eastern Pipeline Trail. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several small family and community burial grounds, including the John Roberson Cem, Banks Cem, and Oak Valley Cem. A unique footprint of mid-century activity is visible in the Bombing Range Trail, suggesting a history of military training or testing in this corner of Yazoo County. The terrain is marked by numerous bayous and sloughs, such as Deep Bayou and Wade Bayou, which remain central features of this alluvial environment.
