2012 Map of Lucre

About this map

Spanish Fort Landing and Harworth occupy a complex riverine environment where the Yazoo River and Big Sunflower River wind through the Mississippi Delta. This 2012 survey reveals a landscape defined by its relation to the water, featuring a dense network of specialized landings such as Madisons Woodyard Landing, Pleasant Home Landing, and Shell Mound Landing. The presence of the Yazoo Backwater Levee and the Lake George Drainage Ditch underscores the intensive water management required in this alluvial plain. Beyond the riverbanks, the map identifies significant water bodies including Lake George and Dump Lake, alongside managed areas like the South Greentree Reservoir. The road network, including Spanish Fort Rd and Whittington W Levee Rd, follows the natural and artificial high ground created by the river's levees and embankments.
