About this map

The Big Sunflower River and Yazoo River frame a delta landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and landings in the early 1940s. This survey, revised by the Mississippi River Commission, reveals the critical role of river transport through numerous named landings such as Hughey Point Ldg, Story Ldg, and New Haywood Ldg. The interior is crisscrossed by an extensive drainage system, including Main Ditch and Ditch No 36, which supported the agricultural development of large holdings like Daybreak Plantation.
