2012 Map of Rolling Fork West

About this map

Rolling Fork serves as the primary municipal center in this western Sharkey County landscape, where the town’s grid is defined by streets such as W China St, Parkway Ave, and S First St. The surrounding geography is characterized by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Deer Cr and the artificial Steele Bayou Cutoff, reflecting the region’s long-standing focus on drainage and flood control in the Mississippi Delta. Agricultural patterns are evident through the numerous rectangular ponds and fields scattered near Booth and Lorenzen. Genealogists may find interest in the proximity of Elmwood Cem and Weathers Cem situated south of the main town. To the northwest, Grace and the Wade Airport mark the more rural sections of the quadrangle, while Poindexter Island sits near the confluence of major bayous and road networks like Lakeside Rd.
