Overflow National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is a wetland complex within the watershed of Overflow Creek, which flows south along the length of the refuge. On the western boundary, there are approximately 100 acres of upland forests on a narrow strip along the escarpment that separates the Mississippi Alluvial Valley from the Gulf Coastal Plain.
