2024 Map of Louise

About this map

Louise stands at the northern edge of this landscape, where the agricultural plains of the Mississippi Delta meet vast protected wetlands. The territory is defined by complex water management, most notably the Will M Whittington Auxiliary Channel and the winding course of Silver Creek. These waterways provide the backbone for a region dominated by the Panther Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and the Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge. Small settlements and named locales like Anchorage, Craig, and Patosi are connected by a network of rural roads such as Old Hwy 49 and Co Barn Rd. Family history is preserved at local burial sites including Huddleston Cem, Balup Cem, and Goshen Cem, which sit among the expansive fields and bayous that characterize the Humphreys and Yazoo county line.
