2012 Map of Stringtown

About this map

Stringtown and Priscilla anchor this rural Mississippi Delta landscape, where the flat alluvial plain is defined by an intricate network of natural bayous and engineered drainage. Settled points like Grapeland and Meltonia are connected by a grid of farm-to-market roads such as Bates Rd and Resettlement Rd, illustrating the region's agricultural focus. Family and community heritage is evident in the scattered burial grounds, including Dickerson Cem, Asia Cem, and Mount Cozy Cem. Water management is the primary topographical feature here, with names like Pistol Slough and Stillwater Bayou running alongside man-made improvements like Ditch Number C-1. The presence of Shell Lake and several branches of Bee Bayou further emphasize the low-lying, riparian character of Washington County.
