The Quitman County Mississippi map centers on Marks, with Lambert to the east, Crenshaw and Sledge in the northeast, and Falcon in the southwest. The Coldwater River and US 278/MS 6 cross flat Delta farmland and connect small towns shaped by rail, road, agriculture, and drainage works.

The decennial count and July 2025 estimate use different reference dates. Land and water measurements come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 15.2 residents per square mile divides the 2020 population by 2025 land area and does not imply an even distribution among cities, farms, forest, or wetland.
Reading the Quitman County Mississippi map
US 278/MS 6 enters from Panola County, passes Lambert, and continues through Marks toward Coahoma County. MS 3 connects the Tunica County side in the north with Tallahatchie County in the south. Crenshaw and Sledge mark the northeast, while Falcon identifies the southwest; farm entrances and drainage ditches are omitted.
Boundary, Water, and Terrain
The Coldwater River bends across the county toward the Tallahatchie system. Former channels, drainage ditches, levees, and large fields repeat across an alluvial plain with little elevation difference. Rivers, rail lines, and the rectilinear road grid therefore provide more useful orientation than ridges or major lakes.
Settlement and Regional Context
Marks concentrates courthouse and local services and also provides an Amtrak passenger-rail stop in the Mississippi Delta. Lambert, Crenshaw, and Sledge are smaller towns connected with agricultural and rail history. The 2025 estimate is about 13.1 percent below the 2020 count, the steepest decline in this ten-county batch.
Practical Map Uses
- Follow US 278/MS 6 between Lambert and Marks
- Compare the Coldwater River with the Delta road grid
- Use Crenshaw, Sledge, and Falcon to divide outer directions
