Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area

Tallahatchie National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1991 and consists of
4,199 acres in Grenada and Tallahatchie Counties of Mississippi.

Like many areas in the Mississippi Delta, the lands which form Tallahatchie
National Wildlife Refuge are relatively flat and have been extensively cleared
and drained for agriculture. Since these lands were acquired by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, 1,300 acres have been removed from agricultural
production and reforested with native hardwood species. Today, the refuge's
largest unit is a patchwork of old fields and small scattered hardwood
bottomland forests bisected by the meandering Tippo Bayou.

The refuge is complemented on the south by the 9,483-acre Malmaison Wildlife
Management Area, managed by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries,
and Parks.
