1966 Map of Fletcher Lake

About this map

The Mississippi River defines this landscape south of Memphis, serving as a boundary between the heavy industrial works of Tennessee and the low-lying agricultural drainage of Arkansas. On the eastern bank, the Allen Generating Plant and associated Tailings Pond signal the mid-century industrial expansion, while the Chucalissa Archaeological Park and T O Fuller State Park preserve significant cultural and natural terrain. The river itself is dominated by massive landforms like Vice Presidents Island and Presidents Island No 45, which separate the main channel from Mc Kellar Lake. Across the water in Arkansas, the grid of the Proctor district is crisscrossed by railroads including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific. This area is dotted with small rural nodes like Waverly, Riceville, and Millers, alongside many local landmarks such as St Johns Cem and Lake Grove Ch.
