About this map

The Mississippi River carves a complex boundary between Washington County and Arkansas, defining a landscape of shifting channels and low-lying alluvial plains. This 2020 map documents the intricate network of drainage ditches, such as Ditch Number Nine A and Ditch Number Ten, that support the agricultural productivity of the Delta. The settlement of Avon sits near the junction of Avis Rd and Riverside Rd, while the Graymound Cem provides a point of genealogical interest nearby.

Southward, the communities of James and Longwood are connected by the winding Levee Rd, which follows the river's edge past features like Eggs Point and Longwood Chute. Large riverine landmarks like Bell Island and the Kentucky Bend illustrate the dynamic nature of the state border, where land is often separated from its mainland by the main channel. Aviation and local infrastructure are represented by the Steele Farms Airport, situated amidst the expansive fields and bayous like Granicus Bayou.
