2011 Map of Montgomery Island

About this map

Montgomery Island sits at the heart of a dynamic river landscape where the Mississippi River and White River converge along the Arkansas-Mississippi border. This 2011 survey reveals an intricate network of hydraulic engineering and river morphology, from the sweeping curves of Scrubgrass Bend and Victoria Bend to the man-made Montgomery Cutoff. The map documents the critical infrastructure protecting these lowlands, including the Mississippi River Levee and various river control structures like the Henrico Dikes and Scrubgrass Bend Revetment. Along the eastern bank in Mississippi, the presence of Terrene Landing and the Rosedale Cemetery provides a touchpoint for local history near the water's edge. To the west, the expansive Big Island is crisscrossed by smaller waterways such as Mayhorn Bayou, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Delta region.
