1975 Map of Clayton NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this 1975 orthophotoquad, capturing the shifting dynamics of the delta landscape along the Arkansas-Mississippi border. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial imagery provides a direct look at the intricate field patterns and flood-control infrastructure of the mid-1970s. The settlement of Austin sits near the riverbanks, while the community of Evansville is positioned further inland, adjacent to the curving shore of Beaverdam Lake. The presence of Fox Island and the expansive oxbow remnants illustrate the historical migration of the river channel over time. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact layout of roads and agricultural tracts near Tunica before later decades of modernization and land-use changes altered the rural character of the region.
