2014 Map of Council

About this map

Council and Peters anchor the western bank of the Mississippi River on this 2014 survey, where the shifting river channel creates a complex landscape of islands, bars, and cutoffs across the Arkansas and Mississippi state line. The map illustrates how the river's historical movements have shaped the geography, leaving behind features like Council Island and Mac Towhead while defining modern boundaries between Lee, Tunica, and Crittenden counties. On the eastern shore, the transition into Mississippi is marked by the developed area of Tunica Resorts and the riverside community of Commerce.
