2024 Map of Falcon

About this map

The Coldwater River meanders across the floodplain of the Mississippi Delta, flanked by the massive Cold Water River Levee and a complex system of drainage features like Pompey Ditch. The small settlement of Falcon sits in the lower corner of the quadrangle along Railroad Ave, while the community of Tibbs is located further north. This landscape is defined by the hydrologic management of the Yazoo Basin, where numerous natural waterways such as Twelvemile Bayou, Sunrise Bayou, and McNeil Bayou weave between agricultural tracts. The naming of Graveyard Bayou and nearby oxbow remnants like Mussel Lake and Fish Lake reflects the deep connection between local families and the wet, fertile terrain of Tunica and Quitman Counties.
