About this map

Lucre sits at the northern edge of this Delta landscape, where the confluence of major waterways defines the local geography. The map documents the intricate winding of the Yazoo River as it meets the Big Sunflower River and the Little Sunflower River along the borders of Sharkey, Yazoo, and Issaquena counties. Extensive levee systems, including the Road on Levee, trace these banks, indicating a territory shaped by flood control and drainage management at the turn of the millennium.

Within the Delta National Forest, the South Greentree Reservoir and various managed sites like Campsites highlight the region's intersection of natural preservation and recreation. Notable oxbows and seasonal water bodies like Lake George and Clark Lake punctuate the flatlands, while infrastructure such as a flood gate, Weir, and even a small Air Strip near Dick Lake reflect the industrial and logistical needs of this riverine environment.
