About this map

The Big Sunflower River and Little Sunflower River meander through this stretch of the Mississippi Delta, defining a landscape of low-lying brakes and bayous. In the northern reaches, the town of Coahoma sits near the intersection of Coahoma Moon Lake Rd and Friar Point Rd, serving as a central point for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The terrain is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Old Dickerson Cem and Mount Mariah Cem, which provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research in Coahoma County.

Institutional and aviation history are represented by the Coahoma Community College campus and the nearby Fletcher Field. The presence of several distinct marshy basins, such as Buzzards Roost Brake and Hamson Brake, illustrates the complex drainage patterns inherent to the region. Smaller settlements like Rudyard, Armistead, and Clover Hill are scattered across the quadrangle, connected by a network of local routes like Rudyard Jonestown Rd and Farrell-Eagles Nest W.
