About this map

Arkabutla Lake dominates this northern Mississippi landscape, with its irregular shoreline forming numerous inlets such as Sunfish Bay and Bayou Point. The lake's presence has clearly shaped local development, as seen in the concentration of residential roads and named points like Hernando Point and Coldwater Pt. South of the reservoir, the terrain transitions into a dense network of country roads serving rural homesteads and agricultural lands.

Genealogists and local historians can find markers of long-standing community ties, such as the Morris Cem located near the southern border and the namesake settlement of Arkabutla near the dam. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Arkabutla Creek and Hickahala Cr, which carve through the elevations south of the primary reservoir. This modern digital survey reflects a recreation-heavy region where older rural footprints meet the managed waters of the Coldwater River basin.
