About this map

The town of Sledge serves as a primary hub in this agricultural landscape near the border of Quitman and Panola counties. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by a complex network of waterways, including David Bayou, Yellow Lake Bayou, and Loggie Bayou, which wind through the low-lying fields. The settlement of Crenshaw is positioned at the northern edge, while the smaller communities of Delta and Falcon sit to the east and southwest.

Genealogists may find interest in the location of Rogers Cem and various family-named roads such as Meucci Dr and James Davis Rd. The environment is punctuated by wetland features like Flag Lake and Chinquapin Brake, indicating the original bottomland character of the Delta region before extensive drainage for cultivation. The map captures the persistence of these rural townships and the intricate grid of secondary routes like Old Crenshaw Rd that connect them across the basin.
