2012 Map of Benton

About this map

Benton serves as a primary crossroads in this portion of Yazoo County, where several local routes converge near the winding path of Walesheba Cr. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including Little Walesheba Cr and Short Cr, which carve through a rural topography marked by scattered family holdings and small settlements like Woodlawn and Roadside. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies specific landmarks such as Coopers Cem near the northern boundary and Smith's Cem situated central to the quadrangle. A network of rural roads like Graball Freerun RD and Old Benton RD connects these disparate points, reflecting a community structure that remains rooted in its agricultural and natural geography into the twenty-first century.
