About this map

The Mississippi River meanders through this borderland between Tennessee and Missouri, defining a landscape of shifting channels, towheads, and bars. This 2010 survey illustrates the river's dynamic nature through features like the Lee Towhead and Joe Eckles Towhead, alongside man-made interventions such as the Lee Towhead Revetment and Rons Dam. Historical river access points are preserved in the naming of riverfront sites like Riley Landing, Burrus Landing, and Cherokee Landing.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds inland, including Stewart Cemetery and Mooring Cemetery, as well as the Organ Cemetery and Wagner Cemetery located near the southern margin. The transport network is anchored by the Tiptonville-Ferry Rd and the protective Tiptonville-Obion Levee Rd, which navigates around low-lying areas like Old Graveyard Slough. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure essential for life on the floodplains of Lake County.
