2024 Map of Lake Cormorant

About this map

Mississippi River alluvial plains and the high-density road network of the Memphis suburbs meet in this detailed survey of northwest Mississippi. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the river lowlands, marked by Horn Lake and the Dead Negro Slough, and the rising bluffs to the east. Numerous faith-based landmarks serve as vital points for family history and genealogy, including Norfolk Baptist Church Cem and the Carroll Bluff Missionary Baptist Church Cem. The settlement at Lake Cormorant and the proximity to the Tennessee-Mississippi border highlight the region's role as a gateway between the Delta and the Memphis metropolitan area. Agriculture remains a visible part of the economy, evidenced by the Delta Flying Service Inc and the extensive levee systems along Levee Rd.
