The town of Duncan and the smaller settlement of Alligator anchor this portion of the Mississippi Delta, a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and agricultural aviation. The Hushpuckena River snakes along the western edge, while the Big Sunflower River winds through the southeast, linked by numerous drainage channels like Alligator Bayou, Turn Bayou, and Turkey Bayou. The presence of the Glidwell Flying Service airstrip near Old US Hwy 61 underscores the area's deep-rooted reliance on crop-dusting for the surrounding fields.
