2015 Map of Boyer

About this map

Porter Bayou and its winding tributaries dominate this landscape on the border of Bolivar and Sunflower counties. The area reflects a classic Mississippi Delta agricultural pattern, with small settlements like Boyer and Stephenville situated near the water's edge. This 2015 survey reveals how the land is divided into large, rectangular tracts defined by a network of rural roads such as Muzzi Rd and Charlie Ellis Rd. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by sites like Boyer Cem and Mount Calvary Cem near Fairview. The drainage system, including Bear Bayou and Moorhead Bayou, illustrates the complex hydrology necessary for managing the fertile bottomlands of the region. Scattered clusters of buildings at Frazier and Faisonia further indicate the distributed nature of this rural farming community.
