2015 Map of Sidon

About this map

The Yazoo River defines the western edge of this Mississippi Delta landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and bayous. In the southern portion of the sheet, the settlement of Sidon sits near the river's edge, home to the Mount Pisgah Cem and a grid of rural roads. Northward, the town of Rising Sun is situated between the river and the Pelucia Creek drainage, while the outskirts of Greenwood appear in the north-central area. The map reveals the intricate water management of the Delta through features like the Sidon Cut-Off and the Walker Lake Canal. Local history is preserved in several small cemeteries, including Travel Rest Cem, Ingleside Cem, and the Saint Paul Cem near Roebuck. This agricultural region is punctuated by numerous lakes, from the large Bee Lake in the south to Pleasant Lake and Round Lake in the center.
