Overflow National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is a wetland complex within the watershed of Overflow Creek, which flows south along the length of the refuge. On the western boundary, there are approximately 100 acres of upland forests on a narrow strip along the escarpment that separates the Mississippi Alluvial Valley from the Gulf Coastal Plain. The majority of the refuge is bottomland hardwood forests consisting primarily of willow and overcup oaks. Willow oaks produce small acorns that are an excellent food source for the mallards and wood ducks that make their winter home here.
