About this map

The alluvial plains of the Mississippi Delta define this area north of Greenville, where the border of Bolivar Co and Washington Co cuts through a landscape of intricate bayous and agricultural roads. Small communities such as Stringtown and Priscilla anchor the southern reaches, while Grapeland and Meltonia sit further north. The drainage pattern is complex, dominated by the winding paths of Stillwater Bayou, Little Steele Bayou, and the branching waters of Deer Creek and E Br Deer Cr.

Family history is preserved in small burial sites scattered across the township, including Asia Cem, Forkland Cem, and Mount Cazy Cem. These landmarks, often situated near the banks of named water bodies like Ross Bayou or Snake Bayou, provide crucial coordinates for genealogists tracing roots in the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta. The network of rural routes, from Big Four Rd to Winterville-Priscilla Rd, follows the natural levees and section lines that have organized this cotton-growing region for generations.
