2020 Map of Jacksonport

About this map

The confluence of the White River and the Black River at Jacksonport defines this river-driven landscape on the edge of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. The map documents a terrain defined by oxbows, brakes, and ridges, where the water's path has carved out distinctive features like Dead Mule Bend, Pullum Bend, and Mason Bend. Higher ground is marked by Surrounded Hill and various bluffs, including Berkley Bluff and Little Paroquet Bluff, which offered stable ground for early settlements and river landings.
