2018 Map of Sherard

About this map

Sherard and Bobo anchor this Coahoma County landscape, where the flat alluvial plains of the Mississippi Delta are defined by a complex network of wetlands and drainage. The territory is marked by slow-moving water bodies like Harris Bayou, Richies Bayou, and the expansive Lewis Swamp, reflecting the region's historic hydrology before modern engineering fully transformed the basin. Local genealogical interest is found at Nathan Cem and Dogwood Cem, small land-tied landmarks that speak to the long-standing agricultural communities of the area. A sprawling grid of rural roads, including Sherard Rd and Bobo - New Africa Rd, connects the scattered settlements and farmsteads. Elevated terrain is scarce, with Annis Ridge providing a subtle rise above the surrounding sloughs and bayous, illustrating the delicate relationship between settlement patterns and the delta’s flood-prone geography.
