2017 Map of Luxora

About this map

Luxora and the surrounding Mississippi River lowlands are defined by a grid of agricultural roads and the proximity of the Mississippi County and Arkansas-Tennessee border. The landscape is dotted with small communities such as Burdette, Tuckertown, and Lemsford, reflecting a pattern of rural settlement shaped by the fertile bottomlands. Along the river's edge, distinctive fluvial features like Elmot Bar, Fletcher Towhead, and the Rosa Pocket highlight the shifting nature of the river's course over time. Local history is anchored by several cemeteries, including New Salem Cem, Citizen Cem, and Sandy Ridge Cem, while the sluggish Catalpa Bayou meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This area serves as a primary transit corridor where the interstate intersects with local routes like State Hwy 120 and W Plantation Rd.
