2018 Map of Bear Gut Bayou

About this map

The Quiver River meanders through this agricultural landscape along the boundary of Sunflower and Leflore counties, defining a terrain dominated by an intricate network of waterways. Named bayous such as Bear Gut Bayou, Turkey Bayou, and the evocatively titled Howling Wolf Bayou drain the alluvial plains, illustrating the complex hydrography of the Mississippi Delta. A sharp bend in the river known as The Elbow stands out as a distinctive local landmark amidst the gridded section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
