2011 Map of Helena

About this map

Helena-West Helena serves as the focal point of this riverfront survey, where the urban grid of Helena meets the expansive bends of the Mississippi River. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the delta, featuring the Saint Francis River and the Kate Adams Chute. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous burial grounds, including the large Magnolia Cemetery, Maple Hill Cemetery, and Bethel Cemetery. Significant river engineering and navigation features are visible along the banks, such as the Prairie Point Dikes, Trotter Landing, and the Helena Revet. To the northwest, the elevation of the Crowley Ridge Overlook provides a rare vantage point over the bottomlands, while the Storm Creek Lake Campground highlights the area's recreational geography. This 2011 edition shows the modern extent of the city alongside traditional river landmarks like Prairie Point and Trotters Point.
