About this map

Grady is the primary hub of this Lincoln County landscape, situated where the W Railroad and several county routes intersect. The town's surrounding agricultural lands are defined by a complex drainage network, including the meandering Bayou Bartholomew in the southwest and Wagon Bayou which cuts through the center. This drainage pattern dictates the placement of numerous small settlements and family-named landmarks that have persisted through generations of Delta farming.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the sheet, suggesting deep community roots in the area. These range from the centrally located Grady Cemetery and Hawley Cemetery to more outlying spots such as McBride Cemetery and Gocio Cemetery near Shannon Tank. In the north, Sarassa Lake and Long Lake mark the low-lying terrain near Sarassa and Woodville, while the southern reaches are bordered by Deep Bayou and Choctaw Bayou.
