2024 Map of Rolling Fork East

About this map

Anguilla and the northern outskirts of Rolling Fork anchor this Sharkey County landscape, where the alluvial plain is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways. The Big Sunflower River winds along the eastern boundary, complemented by numerous smaller channels including Deer Creek, Little Atchafalaya Bayou, and Widow Bayou. This environment supports significant conservation areas, notably the Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge and portions of the Delta National Forest in the southeast. Local history is preserved in small rural burial grounds like Cameta Cem, Vicks Cem, and Golden Link Cem. The area’s aviation and transit history is reflected in Rollang Field, the operations of Nicks Flying Service Inc, and the rail-aligned Riverside Junction, while the prominent Mont Helena stands as a distinct landmark west of the main settlements.
