About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this landscape, carving a complex series of bends and bars along the border of Issaquena County and East Carroll Parish. The intricate hydrography of the Mississippi Delta is evident in the numerous oxbows and secondary channels such as Fitler Lake, Concord Lake, and Transylvania Chute. These water features, alongside sediment deposits like Ajax Bar and Only Bar, illustrate the constant shifting of the river's course over time.

Small settlements like Fitler, New Fitler, and Magna Vista are connected by a network of rural roads, including Mannie Rd and Section Rd. The low-lying terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Goose Lake Flats and the Albemarle Crevasse, a legacy of the region's flood history. Local transportation is further supported by the Lookout Point Airport, while landmarks like Point Lookout offer views over the expansive river environment.
