2014 Map of Nodena

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a complex borderland here, where the state line weaves between numerous islands and towheads. To the east, the Hatchie River joins the main channel near Randolph, a settlement situated against the rising elevation of Chickasaw Bluff Number Two. This bluff line provides a sharp contrast to the low-lying alluvial plains of the Arkansas side, where the community of Nodena and the Nodena Cem sit behind Levee Rd. The landscape is defined by the river's historical shifts, evidenced by features like Sunrise Towhead and the Towhead of Island Number 34. Genealogists will find several family and community burial sites clustered near the bluffs, including Old Randolph Cem, Randolph Cem, and Williams Cem. In the northwest, aviation infrastructure appears with Ohlendorf Airport near the border of Butler.
