2015 Map of Coahoma

About this map

Coahoma stands as the central hub of this Mississippi Delta landscape, where a dense network of country roads and bayous defines the agricultural character of the region. The map reveals a high concentration of family-named landmarks and historical cemeteries, including the Mount Mariah Cem, Old Dickerson Cem, and Long Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The complex hydrology of the Delta is evident through the winding paths of the Big Sunflower River and the Little Sunflower River, alongside numerous backwaters like Long Lake and Corndike Brake. Small settlements such as Rudyard, Armistead, and Clover Hill are scattered throughout, connected by historical routes like Old US 61 and the Friars Point-Highway 61. The southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the Coahoma Community Coll and the Fletcher Field airport, showing the continued institutional and logistical importance of the area.
