Delta

The landscape around Delta is flat, fertile alluvial land along the Mississippi River, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and the farming economy. This small community in Madison Parish sits on Louisiana’s eastern edge, opposite Vicksburg, Mississippi, where the river marks the state line. Interstate 20 and U.S. Route 80 cross the Mississippi nearby on the Vicksburg Bridge, tying Delta to an important east–west route. Across the water, Vicksburg National Military Park preserves ground associated with the 1863 Civil War siege of Vicksburg, placing this quiet river locality within a nationally significant historic setting.
