The Illinois Central railroad corridor anchors this 1961 Mississippi Delta landscape, cutting diagonally through the junction of Sharkey, Humphreys, and Yazoo counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the Sunflower River, Yazoo River, and the Lower Auxiliary Channel, which serve as a backdrop for numerous small agricultural settlements. Community life is represented by a high density of rural institutions, from the Humphreys Co Training School near Louise to several family-named burial grounds like Tanglewood Cem and Kettleman Cem.
