1970 Map of Luna

About this map

Old River meanders through this portion of the Mississippi delta, where the shifting border between Arkansas and Mississippi traces former river channels. The landscape is defined by extensive levee systems and the historical scars of the river’s power, specifically the Panther Forest Crevasse (1892-1912) located near the bend. This area highlights the transition from river-dependent commerce to a landscape dominated by agriculture and flood control, with Gaines Landing and Luna Landing serving as historic points of access along the water. In the south, the northern tip of Lake Chicot and the Lake Chicot State Park show the conversion of an oxbow lake into a recreational landmark. Navigational markers like Ashbrook Neck and Woodstock Island demonstrate the complex hydrology and the myriad of smaller lakes like Willow Lake and Mud Lake left behind by the river's changing course.
