About this map

Arkansas City sits behind protective levees on the western bank of the Mississippi, anchoring a landscape defined by the river's massive migrations and engineered interventions. The dramatic Caulk Cut-Off (1937) and Ashbrook Cut-Off (1935) illustrate the mid-century effort to shorten the river's path, leaving behind oxbows like Caulk Lake and Lake Whittington. The complexity of this borderland is further marked by the Treaty Boundary (1818), which cuts across modern oxbows, indicating how significantly the main channel has shifted since the early 19th century.
