The Mississippi River winds through the heart of this landscape, its banks defined by numerous historic landholdings such as Riverton Plantation and Donaldson Plantation. In the late 1930s, the region was a bustling intersection of river-borne trade, burgeoning energy production at the Darrow Oil Field and Sorrento Oil Field, and a dense network of rail lines including the Illinois Central and the Texas and Pacific Railway.
