About this map

The Mississippi River forms the state boundary between Arkansas and Mississippi, cutting through a landscape of alluvial features and complex water systems in Phillips and Coahoma counties. This delta region is characterized by remnant water bodies like Old Town Lake, Long Lake, and the Missouri Slough, which trace the former paths of the river. The presence of numerous small, family-linked burial sites such as Campbell Place Graveyard and Brown Cem, alongside the Preston Place settlement, suggests a history of localized agricultural estates and community clusters that have persisted through modern topographical changes.
