Loosahatchie River

The Loosahatchie River is a 64.0-mile-long (103.0 km) stream in southwestern Tennessee. Except for a few miles near its head, its mouth, and near the middle of its length, it has been entirely channelized, as have its major tributaries, for agriculture purposes. Its drainage basin was once the site of extensive cotton plantings, which have been greatly diminished in recent decades by extensive urbanization of the area.

Hatchie River

The Hatchie River is a 238-mile-long (383 km) river in northern Mississippi and southwestern Tennessee. It is of considerable geographic, cultural, and historic significance. In large measure this is because it is the only major river of West Tennessee that has never been impounded, channelized, or otherwise modified by human activity to any major degree, although several of its tributaries have. Its environs are indicative of what much of West Tennessee must have resembled prior to the time of European settlement in early 19th century.

The Tuscumbia River is a 44.4-mile-long (71.5 km) tributary of the Hatchie River in northern Mississippi and western Tennessee in the United States. It rises in Prentiss County, Mississippi, near Booneville. It flows through Alcorn County, then into McNairy County, Tennessee, where it is joined by a major tributary, Cypress Creek, and then flows into the Hatchie River, just before it reaches Hardeman County, near Pocahontas, Tennessee.
