2020 Map of Silver City

About this map

The Yazoo River defines the landscape of this Humphreys County region, where flood control structures like the Will M Whittington Auxiliary Channel and extensive Levee systems protect the fertile delta lowlands. The town of Silver City sits at the intersection of Silver Creek and the river, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural settlements of Richland, Lamkin, and Lodi. The mapping detail captures the complex hydrology of the area, featuring oxbow remnants like Tehula Lake and Bee Lake, which suggest the historic shifting of the river's course. Local history is preserved in the location of rural landmarks such as Pluto Cem near the community of Pluto and Jones Cem in the northeast. Small hamlets like Gum Grove, Roseneath, and Hidi are connected by a network of rural routes, including River Rd and Silver City Rd, illustrating the persistent rural character of this Mississippi Delta territory.
