1967 Map of Sabino

About this map

The low-lying Yazoo-Mississippi Delta landscape dominates this mid-century survey of the Coahoma and Quitman county line. The meandering courses of Cassidy Bayou and Oxbow Bayou define the drainage patterns of the area, punctuated by stagnant water bodies like Deadwater and Lost Lake. This region is characterized by a high density of small rural congregations and cemeteries, providing an essential record for genealogists. Landmarks such as Smith Chapel, Macedonia Ch, and the Anderson Chapel Cemetery are spread across the alluvial plain, often adjacent to family-named landmarks like the Indian Mound near the western border. Small agricultural centers such as Sabino and Walnut are linked by a network of unimproved roads and drainage projects, including a Siphon and a Gaging Station, illustrating the ongoing human efforts to manage the water-rich bottomlands for cultivation.
