About this map

Bee Bayou and Stillwater Bayou thread through the lowlands of Washington and Bolivar Counties, defining a landscape of agricultural tracts and scattered family settlements in 2018. The map centers on Stringtown, with Grapeland and Meltonia marking the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This delta region is dotted with significant local landmarks for family researchers, including Dickerson Cem, Asia Cem, and Mount Cozy Cem near the central crossroads.

Water management and drainage are central to the terrain, evidenced by features like Pistol Slough, Jordan Bayou, and Little Steele Bayou. In the southern portion, the community of Priscilla sits near Deer Creek, surrounded by a grid of rural roads like Ditch Bayou Rd and Winterville Priscilla Rd. This map documents the continued rural character and hydrographic network of this Mississippi Delta corner at the end of the 2010s.
