2024 Map of Holly Ridge

About this map

Bogue Phalia winds through this section of the Mississippi Delta, anchoring a landscape defined by its intricate drainage networks and small rural hamlets. The map reveals the layout of agricultural settlements such as Dunleith, Rexburg, and Hollyknowe, where the grid of local roads like Doolittle Rd and Rexburg Rd meets the natural curves of Knox Bayou and Bear Lake. This area is particularly rich in genealogical sites, featuring several family and community burial grounds including Union Cem, Heads Cem, and Evening Star Cem. The inclusion of Edwards 1 Airport and Edwards 2 Airport among the cotton fields and sloughs highlights the modern intersection of aviation and agriculture in Washington Co. The boundary line with Sunflower Co runs through the eastern portion of the sheet near Holly Ridge, where Johnson Bayou and the oddly named Wrong Prong channel water through the fertile lowlands.
