2012 Map of Leland

About this map

Leland anchors this Mississippi Delta landscape, where a dense network of bayous and creeks dictates the placement of settlements and transport routes. The winding course of Deer Creek threads through the heart of the region, passing by Stoneville and the agricultural research facilities at the Delta Branch Experimental Station Airport. Smaller communities such as Magenta, Elizabeth, and Dunkirk are scattered along the rural road network, often situated near historic water bodies like Shell Lake and Bear Lake.
