About this map

Arkansas City and the winding meanders of the Mississippi River dominate this landscape during a period of significant hydraulic engineering. The map documents the state of the river shortly after major interventions, notably the Caulk Cut-Off 1937 and Ashbrook Cut-Off 1935, which were designed to straighten the channel and manage flood risk. These man-made alterations bypassed traditional loops like Cypress Bend and Georgetown Bend, fundamentally changing the geography of Desha County and Bolivar County.
