About this map

The Arkansas-Mississippi state line meanders through this territory, following the shifting course of the great river as it defines the boundary between Chicot County and Washington County. This alluvial landscape is characterized by complex hydrology, featuring abandoned river channels and oxbow-like formations such as Lake Port and Otter Lake. The intricate network of smaller waterways, including Ditch Bayou, Weaver Bayou, and Eminence Bayou, illustrates the historical challenges of drainage and land management in the Mississippi Delta.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along local transit routes like AR 142 Hwy, with the communities of Eminence, Lakeport, and Harwood serving as local anchors. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Lakeport Cem and N Star Cem provides specific points for family research. Significant river features like Worthington Towhead, Island Number 87, and Kentucky Bend Bar highlight the dynamic nature of the river economy and navigation during this era.
