2020 Map of Crenshaw South

About this map

Sledge and the southern outskirts of Crenshaw anchor this Delta landscape at the border of Quitman and Panola Counties. The geography is defined by a dense network of slow-moving water, where the intricate channels of David Bayou, Hope Bayou, and Yellow Lake Bayou meander through low-lying terrain. To the south, the environment shifts into wetlands marked by Flag Lake, Chinquapin Brake, and Burrell Brake, illustrating the classic bottomland characteristics of the Mississippi alluvial plain. Small family and community landmarks, such as Rogers Cemetery to the northeast, are scattered along a grid of rural roads like Ballentine Road and Old Crenshaw Road. These routes connect isolated farmsteads and the small settlement of Delta near the eastern boundary, reflecting the region's enduring reliance on the land and its complex drainage systems.
