2011 Map of Eminence

About this map

Bayou Macon and Eminence Bayou wind through the alluvial bottomlands of Chicot County, defining a landscape of complex waterways and drainage networks. The settlement patterns follow these watercourses and the protective infrastructure of the Levee Rd, which borders the shifting banks of the Mississippi River. Along the river’s edge, distinctive fluvial features like Worthington Towhead, Island Number 87, and Matthews Bend illustrate the dynamic nature of the river channel. Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant landmarks such as the Lakeport Cemetery near the settlement of Lakeport, and the North Star Cemetery situated further inland. The road network, including Red Leaf Rd and Black Water Rd, connects scattered river landings like Mosswood Landing and Point Moore Landing to the interior agricultural fields.
