2024 Map of Buck Island

About this map

The Saint Catherine Creek National Wildlife Refuge dominates this riverfront landscape along the border of Mississippi and Louisiana, protecting a complex network of wetlands and seasonal floodplains. The dynamic movement of the Mississippi River is evident in features like the Glasscock Cutoff and Glasscock Point, where the river's historical course has been engineered or naturally altered over time. To the south, the Homochitto River and its Abernathy Channel weave through a terrain defined by low-lying islands such as Tansey Island and the namesake Buck Island.
