2024 Map of Duncan

About this map

Duncan and Alligator anchor this portion of the Mississippi Delta, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of slow-moving waterways and agricultural drainage. The Hushpuckena River meanders through the western reaches, while the Big Sunflower River winds along the eastern boundary, illustrating the classic alluvial topography of the region. This area, straddling the Bolivar and Coahoma county line, remains deeply tied to its agrarian roots and aviation history, evidenced by the Glidwell Flying Service located near Old US Hwy 61. Genealogists will find significant local value in the distribution of community burial sites, including Mount Evergreen Cem, Union Temple Cem, and Mount Harmon Cem, which are scattered among the fields. The presence of numerous bayous, such as Alligator Bayou and Harris Bayou, along with Pecan Lake, highlights the persistent wetlands that characterize this low-lying territory.
