2024 Map of Linwood

About this map

Benton and the surrounding Yazoo County landscape are defined by a complex network of creeks and rural family homesteads in this 2024 survey. The topography is marked by the winding paths of Cypress Creek, Piney Creek, and Pickett Creek, which carve through the terrain between small settlements like Linwood and Evans. This modern record of the area preserves the locations of numerous historic burial sites, including the Mount Zion Cem, Pickett Cem, and Bull Cem, providing essential geographic context for genealogists. The presence of Linwood Airport near the intersection of Vaughan Rd and Black Jack Rd highlights the local infrastructure, while the small community of Nod sits at the southern edge of the quadrangle. The map captures a transition from concentrated townships to dispersed agricultural land, linked by historically named routes such as Old Hwy 16 and Wildwood Rd.
