2012 Map of Bear Gut Bayou

About this map

The Quiver River meanders through this section of the Mississippi Delta, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and intensive aquaculture. The intricate network of waterways, including Bear Gut Bayou, Turkey Bayou, and Howling Wolf Bayou, illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the region. A distinctive sharp bend in the river is noted simply as The Elbow, a local landmark in an area otherwise dominated by the geometric grids of agricultural fields and rural roads.
