About this map

Yazoo National Wildlife Refuge dominates the landscape of this Mississippi Delta region, preserving a complex network of wetlands and waterways. The map illustrates a high concentration of oxbow features and sluggish water bodies, including Swan Lake, Lizard Lake, and Long Pond, which indicate the shifting course of the nearby river systems. This environment is defined by its seasonal hydrology, where features like Deer Lake Slough and Hools Dump Slough crisscross the low-lying terrain.

Surrounding the refuge, small settlements and crossroads such as Percy, Hampton, and Grace serve as markers of local residency and agricultural life. The area is threaded with numerous rural roads, including Percy Willis Rd and Mound Spencer Rd, which connect remote farmsteads and sites like the Canaan Hill Cem. Transportation and commerce are represented by the Eifling Farms Airport, tucked between the wetlands of Steele Bayou and the agricultural fields of the Delta.
