About this map

The Delta National Forest dominates this section of the Mississippi Delta, showcasing a landscape defined by intricate waterways and specialized timber management. The southwestern portion of the sheet features the Dowling Bayou Greentree Reservoir, a facility designed for seasonal flooding of bottomland hardwoods to support migratory waterfowl. This managed ecosystem is surrounded by a network of drainage features, including Big Widow Bayou and Silver Creek, which reflect the complex hydrology of the Yazoo Basin.

Small settlements and rural clusters such as Bayland and Colby serve as local anchors within this agricultural and forested terrain. Genealogists may find interest in the Valley Home Cem located near the intersection of Valley Home Rd and Grand Oak Rd. The map also records numerous family-named routes like Charlie Pitt Rd and Louis Bennett Rd, providing a detailed look at the local road network as it stood in the mid-2010s.
