The Delta National Forest dominates this landscape in Sharkey County, defining a region where the Big Sunflower River and Little Sunflower River wind through a complex system of bottomlands. Small settlements such as Choctaw Landing and Red Rock sit near the riverbanks, marking the persistent human presence in this flood-prone environment. The importance of modern water management is evident in the presence of the Sunflower-Greentree Reservoir and the Long Bayou-Greentree Reservoir, which are designed to support local ecosystems and timber. Navigation through this wooded terrain is primarily facilitated by specialized routes like Fire Tower Rd and Oil Well RD, while natural landmarks like Buck Point and Cypress Bend serve as navigational markers for those on the water.
