2020 Map of Midnight

About this map

Silver City and the small community of Midnight anchor this Delta landscape in Humphreys County, where the meandering path of Silver Creek defines the local drainage and property lines. The territory is marked by a precise grid of agricultural roads, including evocative local names such as Blue Ruin Rd, Afro Domino Rd, and Peachtree Rd. To the east, the settlement of Bellewood sits near the Bellewood Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this rural corridor. The transition from the old transit ways, represented by Old US Hwy 49W, to modern thoroughfares illustrates the shifting logistics of this cotton-growing region. Water remains a central theme, with Straight Bayou cutting through the western sections, highlighting the low-lying, fertile alluvial plain that has long supported the area's economy.
