2015 Map of Cary

About this map

The low-lying agricultural landscape of the Mississippi Delta is defined here by a complex network of waterways, centered on the communities of Cary and Issaquena. These settlements are situated along the winding course of Deer Creek, a prominent feature that meanders south through the quadrangle. The intersection of local infrastructure and the natural drainage system is evident in the grid of rural roads such as Grain Rd and Oil Well Rd, which support the region's agricultural and resource-based economy. To the west, the expansive Steele Bayou and its E Prong carve through the terrain, creating natural boundaries and landforms like Poindexter Island. Further east, Egremont stands near the Danover Cem, offering a localized point of interest for those tracing family history in Sharkey and Issaquena counties. The map illustrates how human settlement has adapted to the alluvial plains, with development concentrated along the higher ground of the creek banks.
