That question is legit !
I have been going to the Delta since I was a pup !
I always considered Vicksburg, at the bottom of the delta,.... but after hanging around here,.... I know some people consider Natchez and even Woodville the South Delta !
That aint "true" delta land as far as I'm concerned !
Answer the mans question,... beings ain't neither one of us smart enough to know the "correct answer" !!!

North = Cleveland and up
Central = Hollandale to Cleveland
South = Hollandale to Onward/Valley Park
This is how I would define the North, Central and South Delta region of Mississippi.

Hammer: If you will go look at the first "Waterfowl Report" that SB posted, it has a description of the "delta" as it pertains to the report.

Anyone remember this quote???????? "The delta starts in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel and runs south to Catfish Row in Vicksburg!"

North of 82 is the North Delta. South of 82 is the South Delta. On 82 is the Central Delta! I'll be home for Christmas! Sounds like a song, huh!

So I guess I'm located in the northern sector of southern central-delta.

Guys, I really thought this was something looking at a map would show. Now, I do understand there could be some different opinions to how far south does it actually go. Plus I am sure there are a lot of people on here that don't know the history of what used to be the alluvial plains of several different rivers not just the Mississippi. So my appologies Hammer if I my response was short and sweet.
Thanks
Your Friend
Eli Delta
Merry Christmas

The southern end boundry seems to be nort and west of the Yazoo River so I think the ice age formation included parts south of Onward such as Chotard,Eagle Lake,and Mahahana on over to Satarhia(sp.)and up to Yazoo City. The hills and bluff of Vicksburg are not true delta land.
