About this map

Delta National Forest and the Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge dominate this landscape in the lower Mississippi Delta. The terrain is defined by complex bottomland hydrology, where the Little Sunflower River and Six Mile Bayou wind through densely wooded wetlands. These waterways, along with features like False River and the Six Mile Cut-Off, illustrate the shifting alluvial nature of the region.

In the southwestern corner, the small community of Valley Park sits along Deer Creek, served by a network of local roads including Kelso Rd and Aden-Gary Rd. Historical land use is suggested by names like Dummy Line Rd, a term often associated with former logging railroads that once penetrated these deep swamps. This map provides a detailed view of the interface between protected federal wilderness and the agricultural outskirts of Issaquena and Sharkey counties.
