2000 Map of Red Rock

About this map

Delta National Forest dominates this landscape in Sharkey County, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and managed water levels. The presence of the Sunflower Greentree Reservoir and Long Bayou Greentree Reservoir indicates a sophisticated system of bottomland hardwood management, where levees and a Masonry Dam regulate seasonal flooding. Small settlements like Choctaw Landing and Red Rock anchor the edges of this riparian environment, while the meandering paths of the Big Sunflower River and Little Sunflower River define the local topography. This map captures the intersection of conservation and infrastructure at the millennium, featuring a Landing Strip and numerous Roads on Levee that provide access to remote areas like Cypress Bend and Barge Lake.
