1972 Map of Catfish Point

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this 1970s landscape, illustrating the complex hydrology of the border between Arkansas and Mississippi. This survey captures a highly dynamic river environment, notably the Caulk Cut-off, which transformed Caulk Neck into a complex of oxbows and secondary channels. Along the riverbanks, small riverside hubs like Lucca Landing, Catfish Point Landing, and Eutaw Landing indicate the historical importance of river access for local agriculture and transportation. Moving inland, the map shows a landscape defined by water, from the cypress-lined Zellner Brake to numerous named sloughs and lakes such as Horsehead Lake and Whitehill Lake. For genealogists, the map identifies the Eutaw Cem, providing a precise location for family researchers in this shifting riverine territory.
