About this map

Old River Lake defines the southern landscape of this Delta region, illustrating the shifting course of the Mississippi River near Old Town. The area is characterized by an extensive network of drainage features such as Hurricane Ditch and Beaver Bayou, which were essential for managing the low-lying terrain for agriculture. Small rural settlements like Oneida and Wabash are scattered throughout, linked by the Missouri Pacific railroad line.

Local history is deeply rooted in the many country churches and burial grounds that serve these communities, including Old Jerusalem Ch and the Mt Pleasant Cem. The town of Lakeview sits on the northern shore of the namesake lake, marking a central point in a landscape otherwise dominated by bayous and agricultural plots. Education in the rural interior is anchored by the Oneida Jr High Sch, while smaller hamlets like McGehee and Trenton appear at the peripheries.
