Description: 

Mink Snopes is forced to stop here when he hitchhikes from Clarksdale on his way to Memphis. A real hamlet in DeSoto County located in north-west Mississippi, Lake Cormorant possesses only one distinguishing feature in the novel, for it is home to "a small tight neatly-cluttered store plastered with placards behind a gasoline pump" (285).
