2015 Map of Yokena

About this map

The Mississippi River forms a dynamic western boundary for this southern Warren County landscape, characterized by dramatic meanders like Bedford Bend and the Diamond Island Cutoff. The river's influence is evident in the complex network of waterways, including Hennesseys Bayou and Paces Bayou, which snake through the lowlands before the terrain rises into the dissected uplands to the east. This transition from alluvial plain to hill country is marked by small settlements such as Yokena and Kimberly, which sit along the primary north-south corridor leading toward Vicksburg.
