About this map

Lobdell and the surrounding agricultural lands of Bolivar County are defined by a complex network of waterways and drainage systems characteristic of the Mississippi Delta. The landscape is crisscrossed by numerous bayous, including Stokes Bayou, Ann Bayou, and the meandering Bogue Phalia along the eastern edge. Small settlements such as Dahomy, Longshot, and Egypt Ridge anchor the rural landscape, connected by a grid of local roads like Neblett Rd and Longshot Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Polk-Royal Cem near Lobdell and the Egypt Ridge Cem to the south. The area's reliance on aviation for agricultural operations is evidenced by the West Bolivar Flying Service, situated among the vast fields and managed drainage features like Pistol Slough and Jordan Bayou. This survey illustrates the modern configuration of a traditional cotton-growing region, where name-bearing roads like Thompson Way and Alejandro Galvan reflect long-standing land ownership patterns.
