About this map

Dubbs and the surrounding Yazoo Basin lowlands are defined by a complex network of slow-moving bayous and oxbow remnants, reflecting the ancient movements of the Mississippi River's tributaries. The hydrology of this Tunica County landscape is anchored by the Coldwater River and the Coldwater River Levee along the southern border, while features like Walnut Lake and Brushy Bayou dominate the central terrain.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds throughout the area, including Bethany Cem, Daygo Cem, and Church of God Cem. These small, often family-linked cemeteries are situated along backroads like Limerick Rd and Crosstown Rd, serving as enduring markers of early Delta settlement patterns. The presence of Gerlach Mill near the southern boundary line between Tunica Co and Quitman Co indicates the localized agricultural processing that once supported these remote communities.
