1982 Map of Lake Cormorant

About this map

The Mississippi River and its intricate network of former channels and sloughs dominate this 1982 survey along the state boundaries of Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas. This landscape is defined by the hydrologic history of the Delta, where the oxbow of Horn Lake and the waters of Mud Lake flank the northern border near the Memphis Corporate Boundary. The settlement pattern follows the drainage, with small communities like Walls, Glover, and Lake Cormorant established on the higher ground of the alluvial plain.
