2024 Map of Clarksdale

About this map

Clarksdale serves as the focal point of this Delta landscape, centered around the Coahoma County Courthouse. The city's grid extends across the Big Sunflower River, which meanders south through the heart of the region. This survey captures the spatial relationship between the urban center and its outlying agricultural hamlets, including Lyon to the northeast and Hopson and Durham to the south. Numerous community landmarks are noted throughout the rural areas, particularly family and church burial sites such as Saint James Cem and Hackberry Cem. The drainage patterns of the Mississippi Delta are clearly defined by features like Sandy Bayou, Mill Creek, and Kay Bayou, illustrating the complex water network that supported the local cotton-growing economy.
