About this map

Mississippi River floodplains define this landscape, where the wide sweep of Cow Island Bend and the Ninetysix Landing reveal the area's deep connection to the waterway. The terrain is crisscrossed by a complex drainage system of bayous, notably Fifteenmile Bayou and Tenmile Bayou, which weave between small agricultural settlements. This 2011 survey documents a mix of traditional rural crossroads like Ninetysix Corner and Midway Corner alongside newer residential pockets such as Anthony Subdivision and the community of Anthonyville.

Genealogical interest is found at Edmondson Cemetery and Truevine Cemetery, which serve as anchors for the local families in this Delta region. Small water bodies like Copperas Lake and Blue Lake dot the bottomlands, while infrastructure such as the Swan Lake Dam and the Levee Rd highlight the ongoing management of this river-dominated environment. The map captures a moment of transition where established towns like Edmondson and Proctor persist within a landscape still fundamentally shaped by the river's path.
