1966 Map of Fletcher Lake

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a dynamic border between Arkansas and Tennessee, shaping a landscape of alluvial islands and shifting channels. On the Tennessee side, industrial development is evident at the Allen Generating Plant and around Lake Mc Kellar, while the preservation of heritage is marked by the Fuller State Park and an Archaeological Park. Across the water in Crittenden County, a rural agricultural pattern persists with scattered settlements such as Riceville, Waverly, and Wyanoke. Local life is anchored by country congregations at New Salem Ch, Lake Grove Ch, and St John Ch, often situated alongside older landmarks like St John Cem. The complex hydrology of the delta is represented by numerous oxbows and sloughs, including Fletcher Lake, Horn Lake, and the winding path of Tenmile Bayou.
