2024 Map of Eden

About this map

Eden and Zelleria serve as the primary focal points of this settlement landscape in Yazoo County, where the flat, fertile delta meets the rising bluff lines. The western edge of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of the Yazoo River and the low-lying waters of Ingersoll Lake and Dead Man Bayou, while the northeast corner reaches into the Hillside National Wildlife Refuge. The transition from the river bottom to the hills is marked by numerous family-named roads and drainage systems, including Tesheva Creek and Piney Creek. Genealogists may find particular interest in the location of Hardshell Cem, situated among the complex network of rural routes like Morning Star Hill Rd and Graball Freerun Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary rural environment where agriculture in the bottoms remains a primary driver of the local geography.
