About this map

Harris Bayou and Dogwood Bayou thread through this alluvial landscape, defining the agricultural character of Coahoma County. The settlement patterns follow these watercourses and the local road network, with the community of Sherard serving as a central hub near the intersection of Sherard Holmes Rd and Sigmon Rd. The map documents numerous smaller settlements and crossings, including Pullen, Beverly, and Bobo, which are situated along the eastern and southern reaches of the quadrangle.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of Nathan Cem and Dogwood Cem, providing precise locations for family research. Physical landmarks like Annis Ridge and various oxbow-related features such as Ward Lake and Overcup Slough illustrate the complex hydrography of the Mississippi Delta. The intricate web of named country roads, from Bobo New Africa Rd to Oakhurst Company Rd, offers a detailed look at the rural infrastructure as it existed in the early 21st century.
