2010 Map of Lomax

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this Henderson County landscape, carving out a complex network of islands and side channels. Large landmasses like Burlington Island, Beaver Island, and Twomile Island are separated by waterways such as Shokokon Slough and Turkey Chute. This riverine environment shifts abruptly into the flat agricultural interior, where the village of Lomax serves as a local hub. The presence of several family and community burial grounds, including the Talbert Family Cemetery, Crane Cemetery, and Shaw Cemetery, provides a wealth of data for those tracing local lineages. Further south, the settlement of Gittings Mound and the nearby Gittings Mound Cemetery mark a distinct upland area. The drainage pattern is well-defined by creeks like Dugout Creek and Honey Creek that flow toward the river, while landmarks like Yellow Banks and Pin Oak Point indicate the varied topography along the shoreline.
