2015 Map of Lucre

About this map

The Big Sunflower River and Yazoo River dominate this Delta landscape, winding through a complex system of levees and drainage works that define modern land use in this part of Mississippi. The Delta National Forest occupies a significant portion of the terrain, representing one of the few remaining large tracts of bottomland hardwood forest in the region. Small settlements and points of interest such as Harworth, Fairview Landing, and Lucre sit along the waterways and rural roads, while the presence of the Will M. Whittington Auxiliary Channel and the Lake George Drainage Ditch illustrates the extensive flood control and agricultural engineering required to manage this low-lying environment. Landforms like Six Mile Cut Off and South Greentree Reservoir further demonstrate the human modification of the natural hydrology to support both conservation and local industry.
