About this map

Bogue Phalia and its numerous branches, such as Wrong Prong and Sixmile Bayou, dominate this Sunflower County landscape. The network of drainage features, including the Bogue Phalia Cutoff and Deep Slough, reveals the intensive water management necessary for the region's agricultural productivity. Small agricultural settlements and community hubs like Holly Ridge, Dunleith, and Rexburg are scattered throughout, often centered around road intersections and rail lines.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented here, from Heads Cem in the north to Evening Star Cem near the southern margin. Other landmarks such as Union Cem, Charity Cem, and Jones Cem provide precise locations for family history research. The presence of Hollyknowe and Ingrams further illustrates the established rural community structure at the start of the 2010s.
