About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this delta landscape, defining the state boundary between Arkansas and Mississippi. Along its meandering course, complex shifting terrain is visible in features like Buck Island and Peters Island, while numerous river landings such as Peters Landing and Lady Lee-Campbell Landing highlight the importance of waterborne transport to the local economy. The surrounding floodplain is crisscrossed by several bayous including Frenchmans Bayou and Fletcher Bayou, which drain the low-lying agricultural lands surrounding the small settlements of Peters and Commerce. The social life of these rural communities is anchored by local congregations at Peters Ch, Happy Ch, and Hopewell Ch. Large oxbow features like Midway Lake and Old River Lake serve as permanent reminders of the river's historic path through this border region.
