2018 Map of Tribbett

About this map

Tribbett and Bourbon sit at the center of this Mississippi Delta landscape, where the flat alluvial plain is defined by a dense network of drainage sloughs and bayous. The settlement pattern follows the high ground along these waterways, with Tralake positioned to the south near the banks of Bogue Phalia. Agricultural development is evident in the straight-line road network, including Warta Plantation Rd and Kennedy Flat Rd, which cut across the natural meanders of Sixmile Bayou and East Sixmile Bayou. Genealogists will find several significant local landmarks preserved on this sheet, including Bethlehem Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Kindling Altar Cem. These small, dispersed burial grounds are often the only remaining physical markers of the community centers that once served the rural plantation economy in this part of Washington and Sunflower Counties.
