1939 Map of Hales Point

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a complex, shifting border between Arkansas and Tennessee, defining a landscape of active river engineering and ancient oxbows. This 1939 survey, updated under the Flood Control Act, documents a period when local life was tied closely to the water at landings like Barr Ldg and Tamm Ldg. The presence of the Needham Cut-Off (1821) illustrates early efforts to straighten the river, leaving behind isolated terrain like Moss Island and Island No 21.
