2018 Map of Bayland

About this map

Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge and the Delta National Forest dominate this Mississippi Delta landscape at the intersection of Sharkey, Humphreys, and Yazoo Counties. The map reveals a transition between dense forest and the grid-patterned agriculture characteristic of the region. Local settlements like Bayland and Colby serve as small hubs connected by family-named routes such as Tom Miller Rd and Peter Rock Rd. For genealogists, the Valley Home Cem provides a specific point of historical reference near the eastern edge of the survey. The intricate drainage network, including Silver Creek and McCann Bayou, defines the low-lying terrain, while managed forest tracks like the Joe Blount Trail and Cypress Lake Trail offer a detailed look at the recreational and access infrastructure within the federal lands.
