About this map

Porter Bayou and Moorhead Bayou snake through this portion of Sunflower County, defining a landscape of agricultural tracts and scattered rural settlements. The map centers on the small community of Boyer, situated near the Boyer Cem, where local roads like Steiner Rd and Boyer Rd converge. Further west, the settlement of Frazier and the neighborhood of Fairview anchor the western edge of the quadrangle, with Mount Calvary Cem serving the Fairview area.

The drainage patterns of the Mississippi Delta are evident in the winding courses of Beaver Dam Bayou and Fox Bayou, which eventually feed toward the Big Sunflower River at the southern boundary. This 2018 survey illustrates the modern grid of county roads, such as Sawmill Rd and Charlie Ellis Rd, which facilitate the region's long-standing reliance on the rich alluvial soils between the Bolivar and Sunflower county lines.
