About this map

The Delta National Forest dominates this landscape in Sharkey County, defining a complex ecosystem of seasonal wetlands and managed water resources during the late 1980s. The Big Sunflower River and Little Sunflower River wind through the territory, feeding an intricate network of waterways like Howlett Bayou and Coon Bayou. The presence of the Sunflower Greentree Reservoir and Long Bayou Greentree Reservoir illustrates the sophisticated water management systems used to maintain bottomland hardwood habitats.

Small river-adjacent settlements and landings such as Choctaw Landing and Red Rock provide evidence of local navigation and commerce along the riverbanks. Recreational and industrial infrastructure is noted through features like the Campground Boat Ramp near Blue Lake and a Masonry Dam, while the terrain is further marked by a series of levee structures and utility pipelines that cross the alluvial plain.
