About this map

Tunica stands at the heart of this Mississippi Delta landscape, positioned along the Illinois Central railroad as it runs parallel to the meandering Mississippi River. The terrain is defined by the shifting course of the river, which has left behind dramatic oxbow features like Mhoon Bend and Fox Island Bend. These hydrological changes have shaped the agricultural and social layout of the region, where numerous small communities and crossroads such as Hollywood, Evansville, and Austin are established on the higher ground of the levee systems.
