2018 Map of Crowder

About this map

Crowder sits at the junction of the Old Yocona River and the Little Tallahatchie River, serving as a focal point for this wetland-dominated landscape on the border of Panola and Quitman counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of abandoned river bends and hydraulic engineering, most notably the numerous "cut-offs" such as the Marks Cut-Off, Wright School Cut-Off, and Morning Star Cut-Off. These features suggest a history of active floodplain management and river channel migration, common in the Mississippi Delta region.
