2012 Map of Sidon

About this map

The Yazoo River defines the western reaches of this Leflore County landscape, its meandering path marked by the Sidon Cut-Off and the riverfront settlement of Sidon. This area of the Mississippi Delta is characterized by a dense network of drainage canals and natural waterways, including the Walker Lake Canal and Pelucia Cr, which support the agricultural industry of the region. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous small burial grounds such as Ingleside Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and Travel Rest Cem, often situated near older landings and crossroads. The presence of the Leflore Landing Strip near the river and the community of Rising Sun further south illustrates the localized transportation infrastructure serving these rural Delta hamlets in the early 21st century.
