2011 Map of Fletcher Lake

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a complex hydrologic landscape south of Memphis, where state lines and river channels shift across a network of chutes and islands. This 2011 survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the river and the surrounding lowlands, featuring industrial developments like those near Lake McKellar alongside ancient sites like the Chucalissa Indian Village. The terrain is marked by engineered features such as the Ensley Revetment and Dismal Point Dikes, designed to manage the flow around major landmarks like Vice Presidents Island Number Forty-six.
