2016 Map of Chic

About this map

The Mississippi River and its intricate secondary waterways define this riverfront landscape at the borders of Tennessee and Arkansas. The map illustrates a shifting environment where the river's path is marked by substantial islands and engineering interventions like the Needham Cutoff. Settlements such as Huffman, Hickman, and Chic occupy the higher ground near the riverbanks, connected by a network of local roads and levees. South of Wrights Point, the Obion River converges with the Mississippi at Tamm Bend, creating a complex delta of sloughs and pockets.
