2012 Map of Sunflower

About this map

The Big Sunflower River defines the lower half of this landscape, meandering through Sunflower County alongside wetlands like Turkeyfoot Brake. The town of Sunflower stands as the central hub of this agricultural region, surrounded by smaller communities and crossroads such as Pine Land, Dwyer, and Pentecost. To the north, the settlement of Blaine is situated near the New Hope Cem, while Steiner marks the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. The map is heavily detailed with family and local history markers, particularly seen in the distribution of community burial grounds like Willing Worker Cem and Sixteenth Section Cem. The grid of rural roads, including Blaine RD and Sunflower RD, reflects a well-established Delta farming infrastructure where bayous like Jones Bayou and Fox Bayou still dictate the flow of the land.
