1972 Map of Lake Providence
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Mississippi River dominates this 1972 survey, defining the winding boundary between East Carroll Parish, Louisiana, and Issaquena County, Mississippi. The landscape is a complex record of hydraulic engineering and river migration, marked by historical bypasses like the Bunchs Cutoff (1830) and the more recent Sarah Cutoff (1936). These cutoffs created isolated landmasses such as Pittman Island, which remains largely agricultural and is accessed via the Pittman Island Log.
