Deer Creek and the Illinois Central RR anchor the Mississippi Delta landscape of Sharkey County on this mid-1960s survey. The map details a complex network of bayous and wetlands, including the Sunflower Waterfowl Project and the winding course of the Little Sunflower River. Agricultural and social life is evidenced by the high density of rural churches and community cemeteries, such as St Michaels Ch, Guiding Star Ch, and the Elmwood Cem.
