About this map

Sardis Lake dominates this Mississippi landscape, its sprawling shoreline creating a complex system of peninsulas and inlets across the borders of Lafayette and Panola Counties. The settlement at Coles Point serves as a primary landmark for this lakeside region, which is defined by the intersection of water and winding local roads. The terrain rises to notable elevations at Carter Mtn, while the drainage system of Greasy Cr and Nelson Cr feeds the reservoir.

Local history is anchored by rural burial grounds including Emery Cem in the northwest and Elijah Cem further east, which remain as quiet markers of the community's ancestral roots. Transportation in the area relies on a network of routes such as Blue Room Rd, Ed Pratcher Rd, and College Hill Rd, reflecting a landscape dedicated to recreation and small-scale residential holdings established well after the valley was flooded to form the lake.
