2012 Map of Merigold

About this map

Merigold and Renova anchor this section of the Mississippi Delta, where the landscape is defined by the intricate winding of numerous bayous. The Big Sunflower River meanders through the eastern portion of the map, while Mound Bayou, Beaver Bayou, and Jones Bayou create a complex drainage network across the alluvial plain. The area's history is etched into the land through its numerous small burial grounds, including Brown Cem, Smith Cem, and the Old Cleveland Cem near the southern boundary.
