2018 Map of Kinlock

About this map

The Big Sunflower River winds through this section of the Mississippi Delta, defining the boundary between Washington, Sunflower, and Humphreys counties. The small settlement of Kinlock serves as a focal point in a landscape dominated by agricultural reaches and complex hydrology, including Wildcat Bayou, Dutch Brake, and Bogue Phalia. Evidence of the region's long human history is marked by Prentiss Mound near the eastern edge of the survey. Local infrastructure is geared toward the Delta's aviation and agricultural needs, as seen with Lang Flying Service. Genealogists may find value in the locations of Hickory Bluff Cem and Pilgrim Rest Cem, while the network of plantation-named roads like Brumfield Plantation Rd reflects the historic land-use patterns of this fertile alluvial plain.
