2014 Map of Etowah

About this map

Etowah sits within a complex water-management landscape in Mississippi County, where the meandering Left Hand Chute of Little River defines the local topography. This 2014 survey reveals an area heavily modified for agriculture, characterized by an extensive grid of drainage features including Ditch Number 15, Ditch Number 18, and Ditch Number 54. These engineered waterways cut through the natural bends of the river, leaving behind landforms like Jacksons Island and remnants of the original channel at Caney Old River and Redmond Old River. Small rural clusters such as Bondsville, Athelstan, and Carrol Corner are connected by a network of county roads, while local genealogy is rooted in sites like Three Way Cem and Gant Cem. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Tyronza Sunk Lands, a distinctive terrain feature resulting from historic seismic activity.
