About this map

The Tallahatchie River and Coldwater River dominate this 2012 landscape in the Mississippi Delta, showing a complex network of hydrological engineering and natural oxbows. The terrain is defined by numerous cut-offs, such as Morning Star Cut-Off and Wright School Cut-Off, illustrating historical efforts to manage the flow of these significant waterways. Near the settlement of Crowder, the Panola Quitman Floodway serves as a massive infrastructure feature designed for water control in this low-lying region.

Smaller communities like Mims and Allen are connected by a grid of rural roads, including Walker-Bobo Rd and Sutton Rd. The presence of Island Lake, Blue Lake, and the Old Yocona River provides evidence of the shifting river channels that have shaped the land over generations. This map documents the intersection of agricultural land use and critical river management systems at the start of the 21st century.
