2018 Map of Midnight NW

About this map

The Big Sunflower River winds through the heart of this alluvial landscape, forming a natural serpentine boundary that separates portions of Washington and Humphreys counties. This 2018 survey documents a modern agricultural grid defined by a network of drainage features and named routes like McDaniel Rd and Frenchman Rd. The terrain is shaped by its proximity to significant water bodies, including Bogue Phalia to the west and a series of bayous such as Beasley Bayou and Pitchlow Bayou. This network of bayous and lakes, including Martin Lake Rd and Cole Lake Rd, indicates a region deeply tied to the hydrological cycles of the Mississippi Delta. The proximity of Broad Lake Rd and Buck Bayou further illustrates the complex drainage system essential for the surrounding cultivated lands.
