About this map

Arkabutla Lake and the Coldwater River define the eastern edge of this landscape, where the alluvial plains of the Mississippi Delta meet the rising hill country. The map documents a rural transition zone across three counties, marked by small agricultural communities like Cottonville, Prichard, and Savage. The drainage patterns are particularly intricate, featuring a complex network of bayous such as Lake Cormorant Bayou and Buck Island Bayou, alongside engineered waterways like Ditch Number Eight.

Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Arkabutla Cem and named roads that reflect family lineages, including Alred Rd and Jones Rd. The settlement of Evansville sits in the south, while the northern terrain is broken by features like Bayou Point and Rock Cr. This 2015 survey provides a modern snapshot of a region defined by its reliance on the river and the fertile, flood-prone lands of the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta.
