1936 Map of Lake Village

About this map

Lake Village sits prominently along the crescent shoreline of Lake Chicot, serving as a central hub in this 1930s landscape dominated by complex hydrology and emerging infrastructure. The map illustrates a delta region defined by its winding waterways, including the serpentine Bayou Bartholomew to the west and the Boeuf River cutting through the center. This era was a critical period for flood control, as indicated by the Mississippi River Commission's work recorded here.
