2012 Map of Millikin

About this map

Bunches Bend and the sweeping oxbow of the Mississippi River define this corner of East Carroll Parish, where the river's shifting path has carved a landscape of complex water bodies and islands. The remnant arc of Old River and the engineering of the Bunchs Cutoff illustrate the hydrologic management of the region, while landmarks like Pittman Island and Sarah Island sit within the river's dynamic floodplain. The presence of Pittman Island Landing and the La Bend Revetment further emphasize the historical and ongoing efforts to navigate and stabilize this section of the waterway.
