It is the counties located in the NW area of Mississippi. A few towns located in the Delta are Clarksdale, Lambert, Marks, Chrenshaw, Sledge, Greenwood, Batesville, Jonestown, Tutwiler. Several counties located there are Quitman, Cahoma @ Panola. I believe the north Delta starts on hwy 61 traveling south leaving Memphis, TN but I do not know how far east, west or south it goes. I hope this will help you with your research. Best regards.
