About this map

The Big Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates the center of this Mississippi County survey, preserving a wild aquatic landscape amid a highly engineered agricultural region. The Little River and its multiple channels, including the Right Hand Chute and Left Hand Chute, wind through the area, flanked by an extensive grid of drainage canals such as Ditch No 10 and Ditch No 70. This complex water management system supports a plantation-based economy, evidenced by the large agricultural estates like Loethers Plantation, Vegeh Plantation, and Brinkley Plantation.
