About this map

The Yazoo River defines the landscape of this region where Holmes, Leflore, and Humphreys counties meet. The river's winding path is punctuated by engineering efforts like the Silent Shade Cut-Off and the Marksville B Cut-Off, illustrating a long history of water management in the Delta. Small settlements such as Montgomery and Marksville are situated along these waterways, supported by a network of local roads like Baldwin Plantation Rd and Hamilton Deaden Rd. Cultural landmarks such as Lennard Cem and the former sites of McAffees Ferry and Markhams Ferry provide points of interest for those tracing the river's role in local commerce and movement. Large natural areas, including the Mathews Brake National Wildlife Refuge and Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge, dominate the northern and central sections, preserving the oxbow lakes and wetlands characteristic of the alluvial plain.
