2024 Map of Eminence

About this map

Matthews Bend and Worthington Towhead characterize this stretch of the lower Mississippi River, where the border between Chicot County, Arkansas, and Washington County, Mississippi, follows the shifting currents. The landscape is a network of alluvial features including Moon Chute, Kentucky Bend Bar, and Island Number Eighty-eight, reflecting the river's historical path. Inland, the flat delta terrain is defined by a dense grid of local roads like Silver Dollar Rd and Honeycamp Break Rd that serve the agricultural areas surrounding Eminence and Lakeport. Genealogists and local historians can locate community landmarks such as Lakeport Cem and North Star Cem, while water bodies like Otter Lake and Fish Bayou illustrate the complex drainage system of the Mississippi floodplain.
