About this map

The Yazoo River defines the winding geography of this Humphreys County landscape, where the water's shifting course has created a complex network of oxbows and bayous. In the early 21st century, the town of Silver City serves as a primary hub, while smaller communities and historic landing sites like Belle Prairie Landing and Wilsons Landing line the riverbanks. The map documents a hybrid of agricultural land and wetlands, evidenced by the presence of Tchula Lake, Bee Lake, and the uniquely named Boone's Deadening.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as Jones Cem and Pluto Cem near the settlement of Pluto. The terrain is characterized by its proximity to the levee system, with features like Atchafalaya Bayou and French Bayou illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Delta. This survey records the persistent rural character of settlements including Richland, Lamkin, and Roseneath.
