2018 Map of Moorhead

About this map

Big Sunflower River and the Quiver River dominate this delta landscape, carving winding paths through Sunflower County. The map captures the agricultural layout of the region, featuring numerous plantation roads like Eureka Plantation Rd and Kay Plantation Rd that serve the fertile alluvial plains. Small settlements and rural hubs including Baird, Markham, and the eastern portions of Indianola are connected by a network of drainage features such as Moorhead Bayou and Wixon Slough. For genealogists and local historians, several landmarks offer significant research value, most notably the Mississippi Delta Community College campus in Moorhead and several rural burial sites, including Saint Pauls Cem and Bayou Hill Cem. The terrain is characterized by intricate water systems, from the wetlands of Turkeyfoot Brake to the smaller seasonal channels of Shoal Bayou.
