2018 Map of Marcella

About this map

Tchula Lake and Horseshoe Lake dominate this landscape within the Mississippi Delta, following the sinuous paths of former river channels. Small agricultural communities such as Marcella, Choctaw, Butler, and Refuge are distributed across the alluvial plain, connected by a network of local roads like Belmont Rd and Marcella Rd. The area is characterized by significant wetland features, including Snake Creek Brake and Mathena Brake, which indicate the low-lying, often saturated nature of the terrain between the major water bodies. Local history is anchored at the Marcella Cem and the small settlement of Westfield at the southern edge. The presence of Southland Flying Service Inc near Horseshoe Plantation Rd reflects the modern intersection of aviation and industrial-scale agriculture in this fertile region near the border of Holmes, Humphreys, and Leflore Counties.
