1970 Map of Eminence

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Bayou Macon winds through the alluvial lowlands of Chicot County in this 1970 survey, defining a landscape shaped by the shifting hydrologies of the Mississippi River basin. The map documents the intricate network of water bodies such as Otter Lake, Weaver Bayou, and Moon Chute that characterize the Delta region. Settlement patterns are concentrated near established water routes and levees, with the community of Lakeport and the nearby Lakeport Cem serving as significant local landmarks. The presence of Indian Mounds near Harwood indicates a deep human history in this fertile bottomland long before the arrival of modern agriculture. The intricate boundary between Louisiana and Arkansas and Mississippi is traced along the river's path, highlighting the geopolitical complexity of the region. Researchers can also find local social anchors like the New Mizpah Ch and the North Star Cem, which offer essential data points for genealogical study in this corner of the South.
