About this map

The St Louis-San Francisco railroad and Interstate 40 parallel each other as they strike through the alluvial bottomlands of the Mississippi River valley. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the St Francis Levee protects agricultural tracts from the shifting waters of the Barney (Old River) Chute and Brandywine Chute. The boundary between Arkansas and Tennessee winds through the center of the river channel, creating isolated landmasses like Centennial Island and Brandywine Island. Small settlements such as Frenchmans Bayou, Meneshea, and Lambethville are connected by a network of drainage canals, including Ditch No 1 and Ditch No 11, which transformed these wetlands for cultivation. Local life is centered around community landmarks like St Pauls Ch and the Shawnee Sch, while the river remains an active thoroughfare evidenced by Happy Valley Landing.
