About this map

The Delta National Forest dominates this landscape in the Mississippi Delta, where the intersection of Sharkey and Yazoo counties meets a complex network of bayous and water management features. The area around Bayland and Silver Creek is defined by an extensive system of Levees and the Spoil Bank, reflecting the region's managed hydrology at the turn of the millennium. These engineering works stand alongside older points of interest such as the Cem near the creek and the small settlement at Colby.

The western portion of the map features the Greentree Reservoir, a specialized forest management area fed by Dowling Bayou and McCann Bayou. This particular survey captures the land before contemporary changes, documenting the location of the Patosi community and a Communication Tower on the edge of the forest. The presence of a Foot Bridge over the Holly Bluff Cut-Off highlights the local scale of connectivity in this water-bound territory.
