2015 Map of Brooks

About this map

The Quiver River and a dense network of meandering waterways including Wild Bill Bayou, Fighting Bayou, and Parks Bayou define this landscape at the intersection of Sunflower, Tallahatchie, and Leflore Counties. The settlement of Brooks serves as a local focal point, surrounded by agricultural land and conservation areas within the Theodore Roosevelt NWR. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific landmarks like Mount Olive Cem, Scott Cem, and Saint Marys Cem, alongside the Wade School. Transportation and industrial history is represented by numerous rural routes such as Sturdivant-White Rock Rd and a local Sawmill, illustrating the continued importance of the timber and farming economy in this section of the Mississippi Delta.
