About this map

Deer Creek winds through the heart of the Mississippi Delta, anchoring a landscape defined by its intricate hydrography and agricultural grid. This survey reveals a complex network of seasonal and permanent water bodies, including oxbow formations like Gamble Lake, Brushy Lake, and Moon Lake. The settlement of McCutcheon sits near the northeastern corner, accompanied by the Macedonia Cem, while Muskedine serves as a western reference point. The terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive system of rural roads such as Avon Darlove Rd and Old Hwy 61, which follow the township lines and natural levees. The drainage pattern, highlighted by Granicus Bayou and Puzzle Bayou, suggests the persistent influence of the alluvial plain on the local transportation and land-use patterns, maintaining the region's character as a classic Delta farming environment.
