About this map

The Big Sunflower River and Bogue Phalia define the landscape of this Delta region, where the intersection of Washington Co, Sunflower Co, and Humphreys Co reveals a complex network of waterways and drainage features. The settlement of Kinlock sits near the center of a terrain characterized by agricultural roads and significant riparian features like Dutch Brake, Melton Lake, and Dutch Bayou. Cultural and historical markers are preserved in the form of the Prentiss Mound and the prominent Hickory Bluff area, which includes the Hickory Bluff Cemetery.

Modern infrastructure and aviation interests are represented by the Lang Flying Service near Airport Rd, while the southern reaches of the map include the Pilgrim Rest Cemetery. The extensive system of bayous—including Wildcat Bayou, Gravel Bayou, and Beasley Bayou—illustrates the intricate hydrology of the alluvial plain, essential for understanding the historical development and land-use patterns of these Mississippi counties.
