About this map

The Mississippi River meanders across the border of Arkansas and Mississippi in this 2014 survey, defining a landscape shaped by shifting channels and historical sediment deposits. Montgomery Island and Montgomery Towhead sit at the center of a dramatic loop, surrounded by evidence of the river's hydrologic history such as the Montgomery Cutoff and Old River Lake. Near the southern edge of the sheet, Terrene Landing serves as a focal point for local river access, situated just north of the Rosedale Cem.

Further inland, the terrain is networked with numerous water bodies including Deep Bayou, Mayhorn Bayou, and Goffs Bayou. The proximity of the White River and Arkansas River to the main Mississippi channel highlights the complex fluvial system that governs the local geography. Notable land features like Scrubgrass Bend and Birmingham Bend illustrate the persistent evolution of the riverbanks, while Big Island remains a prominent feature of the low-lying alluvial plains.
