About this map

Duncan and Alligator serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural landscape along the Bolivar and Coahoma county line. The map reveals a complex network of waterways, where the Hushpuckena River and the Big Sunflower River wind through the Delta lowlands. The presence of numerous bayous, including Alligator Bayou, Harris Bayou, and Turkey Bayou, illustrates the natural drainage patterns of this fertile region. Transportation is defined by a grid of rural roads such as Booga Bottom Rd and the corridor of Old US Hwy 61.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial sites, including Mount Harmon Cem, Union Temple Cem, Sanders Cem, and Mount Evergreen Cem. The rural character is further detailed by landmarks such as the Glidwell Flying Service and the distinctive oxbow of Pecan Lake. This survey captures the traditional landscape of the Mississippi Delta, where small settlements are closely tied to the land and its intricate water systems.
