2015 Map of Eldorado

About this map

The Yazoo River defines the western edge of this landscape, meandering past Adams Landing and the dense bottomlands of the Delta National Forest. This river corridor transitions abruptly from the flat, low-lying alluvial plain known as The Basin into the deeply dissected uplands to the south and east. Here, a network of ridges and hollows is mapped in fine detail, revealing the complex drainage patterns of Collins Cr and Corn House Cr. Scattered rural communities and family-named landmarks are centered around historical crossroads, including Eldorado, Russellville, and Bradley Chapel. Remote stretches of the region are accessed by a grid of local routes like Possum Hollow Rd and Smithhart Rd, which follow the contours of the high ground between the river basin and the surrounding interior hills.
