The Delta town where Highways 61 and 49 cross, and where Robert Johnson was said to have sold his soul for his guitar playing, a story he encouraged and that borrowed from older African tales. Muddy Waters was recorded on a nearby plantation in 1941 and left for Chicago two years later.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
