1967 Map of Boyer

About this map

Porter Bayou and Bear Bayou wind through this section of the Mississippi Delta, defining a landscape of agricultural drainage and scattered rural congregations. In the late 1960s, the area around Boyer and Frazier was characterized by a high density of community centers, particularly churches such as St Peter Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch. The presence of the Big Sunflower River on the eastern edge and several aviation markers, including the Cottonwing Landing Strip, suggests a region where traditional river-based boundaries met modern crop-dusting needs. Local genealogists may find value in the specific locations of the Mt Calvary Cem and Pilgrim Rest Ch Cem, while the intricate network of distributaries like Indian Bayou and Moorhead Bayou illustrates the complex hydrology of Sunflower and Bolivar counties.
