About this map

The Big Sunflower River and Deer Creek define the fertile bottomlands of Sharkey County, where the agricultural legacy of the Mississippi Delta remains central to the landscape. The town of Anguilla serves as a local hub, surrounded by family-named landmarks and historical burial sites such as Golden Link Cem and Vicks Cem. Further south, the county seat of Rolling Fork marks a significant intersection of local life and commerce, situated near the distinctive Mont Helena site.

Large-scale conservation efforts dominate the eastern and southern portions of this survey, with the Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge and the Delta National Forest preserving significant wetland and forest habitats. The network of bayous, including Plaquemine Bayou and Little Atchafalaya Bayou, illustrates the complex drainage system of the basin. Aviation infrastructure like Nick's Flying Service Inc and Rollang Field highlights the ongoing importance of crop dusting and aerial logistics in this intensive farming region.
