1988 Map of Bayland

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Delta National Forest dominates much of this landscape, characterized by a complex network of seasonal waterways and low-lying terrain within the Mississippi Delta. The small settlement of Bayland sits along the southern edge, where the forest gives way to the banks of Silver Creek. This 1988 survey, compiled from early 1980s aerial photography, reveals a region heavily managed for water control, featuring an extensive Greentree Reservoir and various levees designed to handle the frequent inundation of the bottomlands. The intricate drainage patterns are defined by meandering channels like Big Widow Bayou and Mc Conn Bayou, which carve through the dense woodlands. The map also captures the convergence of Sharkey, Humphreys, and Yazoo counties, illustrating the remote and specialized land use patterns typical of this environmentally sensitive portion of the state.
