1967 Map of Sabino

About this map

Cassidy Bayou winds through the agricultural landscape along the Coahoma and Quitman County line, defining a region where water management and cotton farming shaped the settlement patterns of the late 1960s. The terrain is notably flat, characterized by drainage features like Big Creek Deadwater and the meandering path of Alcorn Bayou. Small rural hubs such as Sabino and Barksdale serve as anchors for the surrounding community, which is dotted with numerous small country churches including New Cassidy Ch, Friendship Ch, and Shady Grove Ch. Evidence of deep historical roots can be found at the Indian Mound near the Coahoma border. The map also records essential infrastructure of the era, from a mid-century Landing Strip to the Gaging Station and various siphons and pipelines that supported the Delta's irrigation and industrial needs.
