2012 Map of Midnight

About this map

Midnight and the small agricultural communities of Romeo and Bellewood anchor this Delta landscape in Humphreys County. The area is defined by a complex network of water management, where the Sunflower River and Straight Bayou meet engineered drainage features like Main Ditch A and Main Ditch B. These ditches signify the intensive land reclamation efforts required for Mississippi Delta farming. Local history is centered around the Bellewood Cem and the winding course of Silver Cr, which meanders through the central portion of the map. The road network, featuring names like Afro Domino Rd, Po Boy Rd, and Little Abraham Rd, suggests a landscape shaped by local family tracts and historic property lines. In the north, Hard Cash Lake remains a distinct water body amidst the grid of country roads.
