About this map

Inverness serves as the primary hub in this portion of the Mississippi Delta, defined by a landscape of bayous and agricultural development. The town layout is clearly visible, with streets such as Pond Ave and E Grand Ave intersecting the north-south transport corridor. The surrounding countryside is dotted with smaller settlements and family-named landmarks including Bowles, Milroy, and Caile, while the southern portion of the sheet features the town of Isola.

A network of water bodies like Mound Bayou, Browns Bayou, and Short Bayou drain the region, influencing the placement of local infrastructure like the Newell Flying Service Airport and the Montgomery Airport. Notable for genealogists are the rural burial grounds such as Mount Moriah Cem and Mount Airy Cem. The presence of the Loyd Fish Farm near Lester Field Airport reflects the specialized land use characteristic of the modern Sunflower County economy.
