About this map

Crowley Ridge rises above the alluvial bottomlands of Lee County, marking a distinctive geological break in the landscape near Marianna. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Saint Francis River and the L'Anguille River dominate the drainage patterns. This 2014 survey documents the eastern edge of the St. Francis National Forest, illustrating how the protected woodlands meet the agricultural reaches of the Mississippi Delta.

Settlement patterns are scattered across the lowlands at places like Soudan, Cody, and Greer Place. Significant water management is evident through the Madison-Marianna Diversion, which alters the flow between major water bodies. Local genealogy and history are preserved at the Soudan Cem, while older river crossings such as Vanness Crossing and True Love Crossing speak to the area's historic reliance on river transit before modern bridge networks solidified.
