About this map

The low-lying Mississippi Delta landscape of Coahoma County is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding paths of Harris Bayou and Dogwood Bayou. This agricultural region is punctuated by small settlements like Sherard and Beverly, connected by rural routes such as Sherard Rd and Bobo Sherard Rd. Local history is anchored at sites like Nathan Cem and Dogwood Cem, providing critical landmarks for genealogists and researchers tracing the families who settled this fertile alluvial plain.

Terrain features like Annis Ridge provide slight elevation above the surrounding wetlands, which include Sevier Lake and the slow-moving Overcup Slough. The drainage pattern of Black Bayou and Clear Lake illustrates the natural hydrology of the area before modern engineering, while the intersection of roads like Davenport Allen Rd and Bramlett-Davenport Rd shows the persistent layout of local landholdings in the early 21st century.
