2015 Map of Holly Bluff

About this map

Holly Bluff and Campbellville anchor this landscape along the meandering path of the Big Sunflower River, which serves as the boundary between Sharkey and Yazoo counties. This region of the Mississippi Delta is defined by its complex network of water bodies and levees, including Fifteen Mile Bayou, Twelve Mile Bayou, and the Will M. Whittington Auxiliary Channel. The map documents a predominantly rural environment where small settlements like Spanish Fort, Kearney, and Loch Lomond are connected by a grid of backroads such as Holly Bluff Gin Rd and Campbellville Rd. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial sites, including Tanglewood Cem, Jeffery Cem, and Kettleman Cem. Large swaths of the Delta National Forest occupy the western portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the proximity of protected timberlands to the agricultural floodplains.
