The Columbus and Greenville railroad corridor anchors the northern reaches of this Mississippi Delta landscape, serving the community of Itta Bena and the surrounding agricultural tracts. The terrain is defined by the complex hydrology of the Yazoo River and its associated backwaters, including the prominent oxbow of Roebuck Lake and the wetlands of the Mathews Brake National Wildlife Refuge. These water bodies and brakes historically dictated the patterns of settlement and transport before the modern era of drainage.
