1981 Map of Council

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this landscape, defining the fluid border between Arkansas and Mississippi as it creates complex landforms like Peters Island and Rabbit Island. The importance of river transportation is evident through numerous historic points such as Lady Lee-Campbell Landing, Ashley Point Landing, and Commerce Landing. Along the western bank, the St Francis Levee provides a massive engineered barrier, shielding low-lying areas and the settlement of Peters from the river's seasonal shifts. Local community life is anchored by landmarks like the Peters Ch Cem and rural congregations at Happy Ch and Hopewell Ch. The presence of oxbows like Midway Lake and Old River Lake illustrates the river's historical path, while the Commerce Revetment shows the ongoing efforts to stabilize these vital banks in the late twentieth century.
