The county exists in two sections, connected only by a narrow 500 foot wide section between Madison Parish, Louisiana and Issaquena County, Mississippi along the delta of the Yazoo River. This area was once along the Mississippi River, but has since become an oxbow lake and marsh and no roads traverse this strip of land. The community of Eagle Bend is in this area.
