About this map

The Big Sunflower River winds through this section of the Mississippi Delta, anchoring a landscape defined by its intricate network of waterways and agricultural heritage. The settlement of Kinlock sits near the river's bend, while the small community of Floyd occupies the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by ancient and modern landmarks alike, from the Prentiss Mound to the specialized facilities of the Lang Flying Service, which supports the region's aerial farming operations.

Water management is central to the area's layout, with Wildcat Bayou, Gravel Bayou, and Dawson Bayou carving through the fertile plains. Local history is preserved at sites like Hickory Bluff Cem and Pilgrim Rest Cem, while the road network, including names like Brumfield Plantation Rd, reflects the deep-rooted land use patterns of Washington and Sunflower Counties. This survey provides a clear view of the drainage and boundary lines that have shaped the Delta's development.
