2012 Map of Boyer

About this map

Porter Bayou and Bear Bayou snake across this rural Sunflower County landscape, defining the agricultural drainage patterns of the Mississippi Delta. The small settlements of Boyer and Stephenville anchor a network of local roads such as Lyon Bridge Rd and Bates Triplett Rd, illustrating the dispersed residential character of the region in the early 21st century. For genealogists, the map identifies key burial sites including Mount Calvary Cem near Fairview and the Boyer Cem to the east. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the Cottonwing Airport and several smaller waterways like Moorhead Bayou and Beaver Dam Bayou. This topographic record provides a clear view of the area's rural development and water-dependent landscape before more recent shifts in Delta land use.
