2020 Map of Sibley

About this map

Sibley and Cloverdale anchor this landscape along the eastern banks of the Mississippi River south of Natchez. The terrain is defined by the dramatic Ellis Cliffs and an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Old Saint Catherine Creek and the oxbow-like Willow Lake. The map reveals a transition from the river bottomlands to the rising loess bluffs, where numerous plantation-era road names like Glen Aubin Plantation Rd and Brighton Plantation Rd hint at the area's agricultural history. Local family and community roots are evident in the placement of Mount Olive Cem and Forest Cem. This 2020 survey documents the modern layout of rural Adams County, tracing the way contemporary roads like Lower Woodville Rd and Carthage Point Rd navigate a landscape still shaped by the shifting course of the great river and its tributaries like Robins Bayou and Hutchins Cr.
