About this map

The Yazoo River winds along the western edge of this landscape, marking the transition from the low-lying wetlands of the Delta National Forest to the deeply dissected uplands to the east. This 2021 topographic survey highlights the complex drainage systems that feed into the river valley, including Collins Creek and Corn House Cr. The northern reach is characterized by the wide, marshy expanse known as The Basin and the adjacent Johnson Lake, illustrating the river's historical influence on the topography.

Small settlements such as Eldorado, Ballground, and Russellville are linked by a network of rural routes that follow the winding ridgelines, including Oak Ridge Rd and Possum Hollow Rd. The map also documents the convergence of several county boundaries, where Warren County meets Issaquena and Yazoo Counties near the river's bend. This data serves as a modern baseline for researchers tracing property lines and natural watercourses across this corner of the Mississippi Delta.
