About this map

Holly Bluff and Campbellville anchor this Yazoo County landscape, where the Big Sunflower River meanders through a network of bayous and drainage canals. The map documents a rural delta region defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure, featuring the Holly Bluff Cut-Off and numerous levee-side roads like Whiting on W Levee Rd. Small family and community cemeteries are scattered throughout the territory, including Tanglewood Cem, Shannon Cem, and the Jeffery Cem near Spanish Fort.

Several landmarks suggest a history of seasonal sporting or social life, notably Roanoke Lodge, Bonny Lodge, and Mabin Lodge. The intricate hydrology is further represented by Twelve Mile Bayou and Fifteen Mile Bayou, which frame Mabin Island. This survey captures the distinct settlement patterns of the Mississippi Delta, from established riverfront communities to the isolated homesteads and hunting lodges along the Pan Handle Brake.
