About this map

Choctaw Landing and Rolling Fork Landing stand as riverside points along the winding path of the Big Sunflower River in this part of Sharkey County. The landscape is defined by its hydraulic management, characterized by the Sunflower Greentree Reservoir and Long Bayou Greentree Reservoir, which dominate the central and southern portions of the map. These reservoirs, alongside numerous waterways like Howlett Bayou and the Little Sunflower River, illustrate the specialized land use required for timber and wildlife management in the Mississippi Delta.

Local landmarks such as Buck Point and Cypress Bend mark the river's serpentine bends, while recreational spots including Barge Lake Campground and the Blue Lake Picnic Area are linked by rural routes like Fire Tower Rd and Campbellville Rd. The presence of Red Rock and various bayous like Coon Bayou further emphasizes the delta's wetland character, where road networks such as Peckerwood Rd and Baconard follow the high ground and field lines.
