2010 Map of Little Cypress

About this map

Kincaid Mounds sit near the northern banks of the Ohio River, marking a landscape where ancient earthworks overlook modern river traffic. This confluence area is defined by the meeting of the Ohio River and the Tennessee River, creating a network of sloughs, bars, and creeks. Small settlements and landings like Ledbetter, Altona, and Possum Trot anchor the local road system, while family and community history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Leeper Cemetery and Hurley Cemetery. The map captures a transition from the broad river bottomlands to the interior drainage of Cypress Creek and Mud Creek. These waterways and their associated features, such as Goodlow Slough and Cottonwood Bar, illustrate the dynamic nature of this river-border region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
