2020 Map of Skene

About this map

Cleveland and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Bolivar County define this 2020 survey. The terrain is a complex network of wetlands and drainage systems, where Bogue Phalia and its many offshoots like Bogue Hasty and Pecan Bayou wind through the flat Mississippi Delta. Small rural settlements like Skene and Litton are connected by a grid of farm-to-market roads, such as Dummy Line Rd and Bond-Busby Rd, reflecting the region's enduring plantation and farming heritage. Genealogists and local historians can find points of interest like the Mount Zion Cem tucked away near the banks of the Bogue Phalia. Notable natural features such as Grassy Lake and Sandy Slough provide insight into the original hydraulic character of the basin before modern land management, while the expansion of Cleveland near Yale Ests shows the modern suburban footprint on the edge of the historic cotton country.
