2024 Map of Council

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the dynamic border between Arkansas and Mississippi, creating a landscape of shifting channels and massive silt deposits. Settlements like Peters and Council occupy the Arkansas side, while the Mississippi bank features the modern developments of Tunica Resorts. The hydrologic complexity of the area is evident in features like the Commerce Cutoff and Council-Bend, which illustrate how the river has bypassed old meanders over time, leaving behind bodies of water such as Midway Lake and Old River Lake. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the locations of Peters Cem and Happy Cem particularly useful. The terrain is characterized by numerous bars and islands, including Peters Island and Rabbit Island, reflecting the river's constant reshaping of the delta region. Land use appears split between traditional riverfront agriculture and the resort economy along Casino Strip Resort Blvd.
