2014 Map of Brickeys

About this map

Saint Francis River and its meandering tributaries define this landscape along the Arkansas-Mississippi state line, where Lee and Tunica counties meet. The map reveals a rural delta environment heavily influenced by water, featuring complex drainage systems like S Alligator Bayou, North Alligator Bayou, and the swampy Whiskey Chute. Small settlements such as Brickeys, Raggio, and Whitehall are connected by a network of local roads, while Us-79 provides regional access through the northern section. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Ward Farm Cem and Shepherd Grove Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant value for genealogical research. The river's historical shifts are visible at Old Walnut Bend and Bordeaux Island Old Bordeaux Chute, reflecting the dynamic nature of the Mississippi River floodplain during this era.
