About this map

Mississippi River bottomlands define this 1960s landscape, where the shifting hydrology of St Francis Lake and Horn Lake created a complex system of oxbows and sloughs. The geography is marked by the massive Levee protecting the low-lying fields of Phillips County from the river's influence. This era shows a rural community anchored by small landmarks such as Little Zion Ch, Point Pleasant Ch, and New Hope Ch. The prevalence of family-named sites like Preston Place and several small burial grounds, including Maney Cem and Brown Cem, provides significant detail for local history research. Agricultural drainage and water management are evident through features like Beaver Bayou and Missouri Slough, which weave through the terrain between the river and the older lake beds.
