About this map

Left Hand Chute of Little River meanders through this portion of Mississippi County, defining a landscape shaped by hydraulic engineering and alluvial history. The drainage network is heavily managed, evidenced by Ditch Number 18, Ditch Number 19, and Ditch Number 15, which serve to reclaim the low-lying terrain of the Tyronza Sunk Lands. These features illustrate the transformation of Arkansas wetlands into productive agricultural territory.

Settlement patterns are concentrated at rural crossroads such as Etowah, Carrol Corner, and Bondsville. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Gant Cem and Three Way Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research in this delta region. The map also captures several distinct water features, including Redmond Old River and the Tyronza Cut-off, which reveal the historical shifts of the river system over time. Jacksons Island and Grays Bend further highlight the intricate relationship between the local communities and the shifting river channels.
