About this map

The low-lying Delta landscape of Humphreys County is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Yazoo River and its accompanying Hard Cash Cutoff at the southern edge. The small settlements of Bellewood and Castleman serve as agricultural hubs along the primary road corridors, while Gooden Lake sits near the winding path of Dry Bayou. The region's drainage pattern is exceptionally intricate, characterized by numerous named waterways like Jackson Bayou, Tupper Bayou, and Beaver Dam Bayou that thread between large, rectangular field plots.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the Belzoni Municipal Airport, located just north of where the river bends. This 2020 map documents a landscape where land use is dictated by the alluvial plain, showing how transport routes like Old Us HWY 49w and dozens of local roads—often bearing local family or descriptive names like Sloppy Deadening Rd and Easy Money Rd—negotiate the flat terrain between the bayous.
