2015 Map of Colony Town

About this map

Moorhead and the surrounding Delta flatlands are defined by a complex network of waterways and early 21st-century agricultural infrastructure. The landscape is characterized by the winding path of the Quiver River in the north and the intricate drainage of Bear Creek and Gin Bayou across the eastern reaches. The survey captures the established settlements of Mattoon, Purnell, and Colony Town, alongside smaller named points like Old Dominion. This region in Sunflower and Leflore Counties shows a grid of county roads such as Colony Town Rd and Trans Fishery Rd that provide access to isolated wetlands and lakes, including McCoy Lake, Jug Lake, and the cypress-lined Cordy Brake. For local historians, the placement of Robinson Cem and Mount Home Cem provides essential grounding for family research in this rural Mississippi landscape.
