2020 Map of Satartia

About this map

The Yazoo River defines the landscape of this Yazoo County region, carving deep meanders through the alluvial plain. The village of Satartia sits at a prominent bend in the river, serving as a focal point where the flat delta lands meet the rising loess bluffs to the east. This transition in geography is marked by the shift from the broad basin of Dump Lake and Potato Hill Bayou to the dissected hills around Mechanicsburg. For family historians, several burial sites are documented across these diverse terrains, including Mount Olivet Cem and Hamblin Cem near the southern boundary, as well as the more isolated Henry Cem. The road network, including Satartia Rd and River Rd, follows the natural levees and ridges, illustrating how the river's path has historically dictated settlement patterns and transport in the Mississippi Delta.
