2012 Map of Carter

About this map

The Yazoo River defines the landscape north of Yazoo City, where a dense network of historical river landings once supported the local economy. From Crumps Upper Landing down to Lintonia Landing, these points served as vital connections for agricultural settlements like Carter and Belle Prairie. The terrain is marked by the winding riverbed and oxbow features such as Wilson Lake and the ominously named Dead Man Bayou, illustrating the shifting hydrology of the Delta. Inland, the map reveals a history of family and community through the Brown Cem and Phillips Cem. Transportation patterns are visible in the proximity of Yazoo Junction to the Yazoo County Airport, showing how modern aviation and rail infrastructure overlay the older river-based transport routes that built these small Mississippi communities.
