2012 Map of Valley Park

About this map

Valley Park and the nearby settlement of Little Sunflower are the primary focal points of this Issaquena County landscape, characterized by the complex hydrology of the Mississippi Delta. The Little Sunflower River winds through the center of the sheet, surrounded by a network of drainage channels and oxbows including False River, Six Mile Bayou, and Ten Mile Bayou. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by agricultural and wildlife management priorities, as evidenced by the extensive network of rural roads like Dummy Line Rd and Spanish Fort Rd. Local infrastructure is concentrated around the Valley Park townsite, which includes a post office marked Po, while the surrounding terrain is etched with several named creeks and bayous such as Deer Cr and Cypress Bayou. The road names themselves, such as Whitten Brock Rd and Delta Wildlife Rd, hint at the local land use and family history of this river-bound region.
