1972 Map of Open Lake

About this map

Mississippi River meanders define the border between Lauderdale County, Tennessee, and Mississippi County, Arkansas, during this early 1970s survey. The landscape is dominated by the dense hydrological network of the Anderson-Tully State Wildlife Management Area, where the Forked Deer River and its various distributaries like Rush Slough and Coker Slough weave through bottomland terrain. The expansive waters of Open Lake sit at the center of the sheet, fed by the Right Hand Arm and adjacent to the Goose Pond wetlands.
