About this map

The Big Sunflower River and Little Sunflower River wind through this alluvial landscape, defining the character of the Delta region. Agricultural operations are central to the area, represented by the expansive King and Anderson Ranch and King and Anderson holdings. The small settlement of Coahoma sits in the northeast, while smaller community centers like Rudyard, Clover Hill, and Armistead are scattered along the local road network and bayous.

Local genealogy is well-preserved through several family and community burial sites, including the Old Dickerson Cem, Saunders Cem, and Mount Mariah Cem. The map illustrates a drainage pattern of brakes and bayous, such as Corndike Brake, Dry Bayou, and Black Lake Bayou, which historically influenced the placement of homes and farmsteads. Near the center of the sheet, Fletcher Field Airport serves as a modern landmark amidst the legacy of long-established Delta plantations and family lands.
