About this map

The Big Sunflower River and Deer Creek define this portion of Sharkey County, where the agricultural footprint of the Mississippi Delta meets significant conservation lands. The town of Anguilla is established along the rail corridor, supported by local landmarks like Nick's Flying Service Inc and Rollang Field, reflecting the area's ongoing connection to aerial crop dusting and river-valley farming. To the south, Rolling Fork serves as a primary hub, while the residential and historical character of the landscape is further marked by Mont Helena and Riverside Junction.

Extensive public lands occupy the eastern and southern portions of the map, notably the Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge and the Delta National Forest. These areas are interlaced with complex waterways such as Sandy Bayou, Widow Bayou, and Devils Elbow Bayou. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, including Cameta Cem, Vicks Cem, and the Golden Link Cem located near the town of Anguilla.
