About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this 2011 survey, defining a landscape shaped by shifting waters and the commerce of river landings. Small rural settlements like Rosa and Ashport anchor the riverbank, while family legacy is preserved at Hatchie Cemetery, Mann Cemetery, and Steger Cemetery. The intricate hydrology of the floodplains is visible through the winding course of Mill Bayou, Bear Bayou, and Long Lake, showing how water management and natural drainage dictate the layout of agricultural tracts such as Clear Lake Farm.

Several river-access points, including Sadie Lee Landing, Fisher Landing, and Lower Forked Deer Landing, reflect the area's continued reliance on the waterway. Significant river engineering features like the Daniels Point Revetment and Ashport Revetment appear alongside natural landmarks such as O'Donnell Bend and Island Number Twentyseven. This survey captures the rural character of the Mississippi Delta region just north of the Forked Deer River confluence.
