2018 Map of Carter

About this map

The Yazoo River dominates this landscape on the northern edge of Yazoo City, winding through the alluvial bottomlands of the Mississippi Delta. The map shows a region defined by its relationship with water and agriculture, from the oxbow-formed Wilson Lake and Big Kilby Lake to the extensive levee system along Yazoo Levee Rd. Small rural settlements like Carter, Belle Prairie, and Lake City anchor the surrounding farmland, connected by a network of named country roads such as 5 Mile Rd and Wolf Lake Rd. Genealogy researchers can find family landmarks including Phillips Cem and Brown Cem, while transportation history is visible at Yazoo Junction and the Yazoo County Airport. The boundary between Humphreys and Yazoo Counties cuts through the western portion of the sheet, illustrating the local administrative geography.
