2018 Map of Silver City

About this map

The Yazoo River defines the western edge of this landscape, its serpentine path mirrored by numerous oxbows and swampy depressions typical of the Delta. This survey captures a rural Mississippi environment characterized by scattered crossroads communities such as Lamkin, Pluto, and Hidi. The eastern half is dominated by Bee Lake and Tchula Lake, long narrow bodies of water that follow former river channels. In the south, substantial water control projects are evident with the Will-M-Whittington Auxiliary Channel cutting through the lowlands near Big Kilby Lake. For genealogists, the map identifies specific local burial sites including Jones Cem and Pluto Cem. The settlement pattern follows the high ground along Levee Rd and River Rd, showing the continued importance of river-adjacent infrastructure in Silver City and the surrounding townships.
