2024 Map of Arkabutla West

About this map

The Coldwater River meanders through the heart of this landscape, its path reinforced by the Coldwater River Levee as it flows past a network of historical crossing points and lowland bayous. This area of Tate County is characterized by a transition from the alluvial bottomlands of the Big Bayou and Lake Cormorant Bayou systems to the rising elevations of the Bluff to the east. The map documents long-established rural settlements such as Cottonville, Prichard, and Savage, alongside historical infrastructure like Thompsons Ferry and Hudsons Ferry. Local history is anchored by sites like Surretts Cem and Bluff Road Cem, which sit among a grid of family-named roads including Allison Rd, Moore Rd, and Davis Rd. Modern use of the terrain is represented by the Strayhorn Hay Field Airport in the southeastern corner near Arkabutla Creek.
