About this map

The Mississippi River creates a dynamic boundary between Madison Parish, Louisiana, and Warren County, Mississippi, in the early 1960s. This riverine landscape is defined by its shift and flow, evidenced by landforms like Australia Island, Paw Paw Island, and the Forest Home Towhead. The Louisiana side is marked by small settlements and rural infrastructure, including Ashly and Barnes, the latter situated along the Illinois Central railroad. Cultural and communal life is anchored by numerous country churches, such as Jerusalem Ch and New Mt Zion Ch, which dot the alluvial plains. A significant geological and historical marker, the Cabin Teele Crevasse, serves as a reminder of the river's power to breach the levee system and reshape the lowlands near Bayou Walnut.
