2018 Map of Cary

About this map

The town of Cary serves as the central hub of this Sharkey County landscape, where the alluvial plain of the Mississippi Delta is defined by an intricate network of slow-moving waterways. Winding through the territory, Deer Creek and Steele Bayou dictate the placement of local infrastructure, with the primary rail and road corridor following the high ground alongside the creek. To the north, the small community of Egremont sits near Danover Cem, while the settlement of Issaquena occupies the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The map reveals a land heavily influenced by its hydrology, showing features like Poindexter Island and Coon Bayou amidst a grid of agricultural service roads such as Cary Blanton Rd and Owl Hoot Rd. This modern survey documents the persistent relationship between the region's agricultural economy and its deltaic environment.
