2020 Map of Bear Gut Bayou

About this map

Quiver River meanders through the heart of the Mississippi Delta along the border of Sunflower and Leflore counties. This landscape is defined by its complex network of waterways, where names like Bear Gut Bayou, Howling Wolf Bayou, and Gin Bayou reflect a terrain shaped by slow-moving drainage and agricultural history. The maps shows an area dominated by large-scale field patterns typical of modern Delta farming, yet it preserves local landmarks essential for genealogical research. Community centers and historical ties are anchored by Pleasant Valley Cem in the north and the Rock of Ages Cem further south. A sharp bend in the river known as The Elbow sits near the center of the sheet, while a grid of local roads, such as Sun-Itta Bena Rd and Romine-Morgan Rd, provides access to the scattered homesteads and agricultural operations of this fertile region.
