About this map

Sherard and Bobo anchor this Coahoma County landscape, reflecting the agricultural and drainage patterns characteristic of the Mississippi Delta. The terrain is defined by a complex network of bayous and sloughs, including Harris Bayou and Richie Bayou, which wind through low-lying areas like Lewis Swamp and Duck Pond Swamp. These natural waterways are complemented by an extensive grid of section-line roads, such as Stribling Rd and Sherard Rd, that facilitate the region's long-standing farming operations.

Genealogists and local historians can locate smaller burial sites like Nathan Cem and Dogwood Cem, which are situated near Dogwood Bayou. The map also illustrates slightly higher elevations like Annis Ridge, providing a clear view of how land use is dictated by the subtle topography between Black Bayou and Sevier Lake. The proximity of Beverly further illustrates the dispersed nature of settlements in this river-bottom territory.
