About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this landscape, its shifting channel defining the boundary between Crittenden County, Arkansas, and Memphis, Tennessee. During this era, the river’s dynamic nature is evident in features like the massive Presidents Island and the Tennessee Chute, along with various landings such as Mound City Landing and Patton Landing. The Arkansas side is characterized by expansive lowlands like Lloyd Bottom and a network of bayous including Fifteenmile Bayou.
