2015 Map of Buck Island

About this map

Buck Island and the complex riverine landscape of the Mississippi-Louisiana border dominate this 2015 survey, where the Mississippi River shifts through the Glasscock Cutoff near Glasscock Point. The area is defined by an intricate network of moving water, including the Homochitto River and its West Fork, which thread through the lowland terrain. Large landmasses like Tansey Island are bordered by numerous secondary waterways such as Mud Flats Bayou, Becks Bay, and the Abernathy Channel. This geography highlights the dynamic nature of the state boundary, where Adams and Wilkinson counties in Mississippi meet Concordia Parish in Louisiana. Local infrastructure is sparse, characterized by named rural routes such as Doloroso Loop Rd and Cavass Rd, which serve the agricultural and marshy interior south of Second Creek.
