2018 Map of Browning

About this map

Sharkey Bayou and the meandering path of the Yalobusha River define the low-lying wetlands of the Mississippi Delta as they meet the rising bluffs of the north-central hills. This landscape transitions sharply at the Leflore and Carroll County line, where the flat alluvial plains give way to a dissected upland topography. The historic settlement of Malmaison and the nearby Greenwood LeFlore Cem sit at this geographic junction, preserving the name of the prominent Choctaw chieftain and statesman. Transportation through the region is marked by small aviation fields, including Henderson Airport and the larger Greenwood-Leflore Airport to the south. Rural life is anchored by scattered communities like Teoc, Whaley, and Crenfree, with several small family and community burial grounds such as Oak Grove Cem and Mount Pisgah Cem providing vital touchstones for local genealogical research.
