2012 Map of Kinlock

About this map

The Big Sunflower River defines the landscape of this Mississippi Delta territory, where a series of landings and small settlements tell a story of riverfront development and local navigation. From Shell Ridge Landing in the north to New Berlin Landing and Hollywood Landing further south, these points on the water illustrate the historical reliance on the river as a primary transport artery. The settlement of Kinlock sits near the center of the survey, surrounded by an intricate drainage network of bayous including Dutch Bayou and Gravel Bayou. Evidence of early inhabitancy and local heritage is preserved at Prentiss Mound and the Hickory Bluff Cem, while the modern era is represented by the Lang Flying Service Airport, serving the agricultural needs of the surrounding plantations.
