2020 Map of Inverness

About this map

The alluvial landscape of Sunflower and Humphreys counties unfolds across this survey, centered on the community of Inverness. A network of watercourses including Mound Bayou, Short Bayou, and Browns Bayou defines the local drainage, while the expansive Sky Lake and its associated Sky Lake Swamp dominate the southeastern quadrant. This area of the Delta is marked by established local settlements like Isola, Caile, and Bowles, connected by a grid of agricultural and residential roads such as Old Hwy 49 W. Small family and community landmarks are frequent, including Hickory Grove Cem, South Side Cem, and Mount Airy Cem. The map provides a clear picture of land utilization in the early 21st century, where large recreational and agricultural areas like Lester Field sit alongside the drainage patterns of Beaver Dam Bayou.
