About this map

Lake Village and the crescent sweep of Lake Chicot dominate this Mississippi Delta landscape in Chicot County. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, where the oxbow lake sits alongside winding waterways like Bayou Macon and the Boeuf River. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground and road networks, with smaller communities such as Chanticleer, Ashton, and Jennie appearing as distinct clusters amid the agricultural fields. The map reveals a dense network of local routes, including Sixteen Section Rd and State Hwy 159, which connect the rural townships.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through several dispersed burial grounds. From Mount Zion Cem in the north to Saint John Cem in the south, these sites reflect the long-standing community hubs of the region. The map also records the location of the Lake Village Municipal Airport and numerous sloughs and bayous, such as Paps Slough and Vident Bayou, illustrating the natural drainage and land use of this Arkansas river valley territory.
