About this map

The Mississippi River carves a massive horseshoe bend through this riverfront landscape, creating the distinct Bend of Island Number 8 and the narrow Chute of Island Number 8. The terrain is defined by its relationship to the water, featuring a dense network of drainage and wetlands including Mud Slough, Hogpen Slough, and Rittenhouse Slough. Human settlement is concentrated in small clusters such as Bondurant, Miller, and Tyler, which are connected by a grid of rural roads like Sutton Rd and Cotton Gin Rd that follow the natural contours of the bottomlands.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Sassafras Ridge Community Cem and the Indian Mound landmark, which speaks to a deeper history of the area. Along the southern boundary, Bayou du Chien marks the transition into the Tennessee state line. The map illustrates the sophisticated flood control efforts of the region, specifically through the prominence of Levee Rd and various towheads like Dorena Towhead that shift with the river's current.
