1994 Map of Eagle Bend

About this map

Mississippi River shifts and historical oxbow formations define this landscape along the border of Louisiana and Mississippi. The complex hydrology of the region is evident in the numerous water bodies like Chotard Lake, Eagle Lake, and Albemarle Lake, which represent former channels of the river. The small settlement of Brunswick serves as a focal point for local history, supported by the Brunswick Cem and Mt Olive Ch. Large landmasses such as Henderson Island and Australia Island are bound by the main river channel and the Willow Cutoff, illustrating the constant evolution of the riverbank. This map, updated with 1990s revisions, provides a clear view of the complex parish and county boundaries that often follow these shifting waters, including the intersections of Warren, Issaquena, Madison, and East Carroll jurisdictions.
