2018 Map of Itta Bena

About this map

Itta Bena serves as the primary hub in this Mississippi Delta landscape, where a dense network of county roads connects numerous small settlements and farming communities. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Yazoo River and the intricate drainage of Pelucia Bayou, which together create a mosaic of wetlands and brakes like Gayden Brake and Mathis Brake. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including McIntyre Cem and Jeremiah Cem, which sit near the river's loops. The map also documents a series of established crossings and historic neighborhood sites such as Murdock Crossing, Sheppardtown, and Phillipstown. This contemporary survey details the enduring agricultural patterns and the specific street layouts of larger towns like Morgan City, providing a clear view of the region's modern settlement footprint.
