2024 Map of Moon Lake

About this map

Mississippi River dynamics dominate this landscape along the border of Arkansas and Mississippi, where the river's shifting path is recorded in features like Montezuma Bend, Montezuma Cut-Off, and Montezuma Towhead. The map reveals a floodplain terrain defined by expansive oxbows and secondary waterways, including the large Moon Lake and the marshy Willow Swamp. Settlement is concentrated along the levees and higher ground, with the small communities of Powell and Danforth serving as local anchors.
