Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Pearl River Basin is located in east central and southwest Mississippi and in the southeastern part of Louisiana. The principal tributaries are the Yockanookany River and Lobutcha and Tuscolameta Creeks in the Basin above Jackson, Mississippi, and the Strong River and Bogue Chitto in the lower Basin. From its source, the Pearl River flows southwesterly for 146 miles to the vicinity of Jackson and then southerly for 217 miles to its outlet channels, the East and West Pearl Rivers. The Basin drains an area of 8,760 square miles, consisting of all or parts of 23 counties in Mississippi and 3 parishes in Louisiana. The primary objective of the U. S. Department of Agriculture study is to facilitate the coordinated and orderly conservation, development, utilization, and management of the water and related land resources. The Department of Agriculture agencies analyzed historical information and developed projections of the following major indicators in addition to minor ones: (1) volume and value of agricultural and timber output; (2) income and employment in basic agricultural and forestry activities; (3) use of rural lands, including the acreage devoted to major crops, forest production, recreation, and fish and wildlife; and (4) employment, income, and other measures of economic activity directly and locationally related to the basic agricultural and forest industries.
