2020 Map of Boyer

About this map

Boyer, Frazier, and Fairview anchor this agricultural landscape in the Mississippi Delta, where the drainage patterns of several major bayous define the land use. The Big Sunflower River brushes the southeastern corner, while the complex meandering paths of Porter Bayou and Moorhead Bayou wind through the township grids. This network of waterways is complemented by a dense system of local roads often named for resident families, such as Hughes Walker Rd and Bates Triplett Rd. Local heritage is preserved at the Boyer Cem and Mount Calvary Cem, providing critical landmarks for genealogists. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of natural watercourses and the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System, a hallmark of the Sunflower County and Bolivar County border region.
