2012 Map of Arkabutla West

About this map

The Coldwater River Levee dominates the western portion of this landscape, reflecting long-standing efforts to manage the water of the Coldwater River as it moves toward the Mississippi Delta. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the crossroads of Savage and Evansville represent the local agricultural hubs, while Prichard and Dooley occupy the flatter terrain further north. The map details an intricate network of waterways and drainage projects, including Ditch Number Eight, Big Bayou, and Arkabutla Cr, illustrating how the natural hydrology has been altered for cultivation.
