2015 Map of Midnight

About this map

Silver Creek meanders through the heart of the Mississippi Delta, anchoring a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and alluvial hydrology. This 2015 survey reveals the small settlements of Midnight and Romeo, illustrating the persistent rural community structures of Humphreys County. To the northeast, the town of Silver City sits near the winding course of the creek, while the presence of Bellewood Cem near Bellwood provides a localized anchor for genealogical research. The geography is characterized by intricate water systems, including Straight Bayou and the curiously named Hard-Cash Lake, which underscore the region's historical reliance on drainage and proximity to water. Roadways like Afro-Domino Rd and Poor Boy Rd reflect the unique local nomenclature and the deeply patterned land divisions of the Public Land Survey System.
