2024 Map of Round Lake

About this map

The Hushpuckena River meanders through this portion of the Mississippi Delta, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and fertile agricultural plains on the border of Bolivar and Coahoma counties. The area is characterized by a high density of rural cemeteries, including Jerusalem Cem, New Ashley Cem, and Mount Olive Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in these long-settled farming communities. Small settlements like Deeson, Hillhouse, and Rochdale are linked by a network of drainage bayous such as Jones Bayou and Stokes Bayou, reflecting the intricate water management required in this riverine environment. Large tracts of land under the Farm Service Agency Interest of Mississippi highlight the modern agricultural administration of the territory. Notable local landmarks like Watts Field and Magnolia Hill provide topographic variety in an otherwise level terrain dominated by the expansive Mississippi River levee system.
