The Mississippi Delta is the flat alluvial plain that flanks the western part of the state. This leaf-shaped area is often referred to as the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta, for its borders are defined by these two powerful rivers. David L. Cohn, author of God Shakes Creation and Greenville native, devised a geo-cultural definition of the region. He wrote that “the Delta begins in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis and ends on Catfish Row in Vicksburg.” His boundaries encompass our Mississippi Delta Hot Tamale Trail. Below is an interactive map of the Tamale Trail. Plotted there are the locations of the subjects with whom we have conducted oral histories, as well as other vendor locations. To learn more about each site on the Trail, click on any of the stars and a new window will open. The number that appears next to the town reflects the number of locations mapped in that particular locale. For those interested in traveling along the Tamale Trail, links to detailed maps and driving directions are included within the information specific to each tamale vendor. When making travel plans, please contact these establishments directly. Every effort has been made to make the Hot Tamale Trail a functional and up-to-date map of vendors and locations, but all information is subject to change without notice.
