2017 Map of Lakeview

About this map

Lakeview and its surrounding Phillips County landscape are defined by the winding course of Old Town Lake, a prominent oxbow feature that separates the town from the floodplains of the Mississippi River delta. The settlement pattern is largely agricultural, with a dense network of local roads such as Phillips Road 352 and Phillips Road 354 bisecting rectangular fields. Small rural communities like Oneida and Wabash serve as local hubs, while smaller named settlements like Pilgrims Rest and various cemeteries including Saint Johns Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians. To the west, the drainage of McGehee Bayou and the confluence of Big Creek and Lick Creek illustrate the complex hydrology of this alluvial region. The landscape is also marked by a significant Levy, indicating the historical and ongoing efforts to manage the water levels in this river-proximate territory.
