About this map

Horseshoe Lake dominates this oxbow landscape along the meandering border of Arkansas and Tennessee. The massive lake, surrounded by local roads like Kamp Karefree Rd and Horseshoe Cir, is a remnant of the Mississippi River's shifting course. Smaller water bodies such as Mud Lake, Goose Lake, and Bushy Lake pocket the interior, while the river itself is defined by significant landmarks including Cow Island Bend and Cat Island Number 50.

Small settlements like Pinckney, Seyppel, and Bruins sit near the massive Mississippi River Levee, reflecting the agricultural and river-dependent history of Crittenden County. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted, including New Mount Zion Cem to the north and Locust Grove Cem near Lake Deloche. The map traces the complex state boundaries that weave through former river channels, marking the intersection of Shelby, DeSoto, and Crittenden counties.
