Thompson road is a paved county road leading to the property access point at the mainline river levee. On the protected side of the levee the property includes a one-acre site containing a state of the art quail raising facility and equipment storage area conducive to build any type of permanent building, giving owners the ability to be sheltered from a prolonged river event.

Montezuma Bend was named after the steamboat Montezuma which sank in the vicinity sometime in February of 1829. The story goes she hit a sawyer which is a tree trunk that has embedded in the bottom of the river and still has the top sticking out barley above water. The steamboat being visible in the area for many years afterward gained its name. Eventually the currents shifted west, creating a new channel, leaving the old cutoff. The bend began to accrete and grow in size which to this day continues.

Located on the south end of the plantation at Snag lake a former river channel during the Civil war era, lies Grants Pass, a man made channel that was constructed by union troops to allow access into Moon Lake and passage into Yazoo Pass, which connected the lake to the Yazoo River allowing access though the Mississippi Delta to Vicksburg.
