About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this portion of Mississippi County, defining the shifting boundary between Arkansas and Tennessee through a complex system of dikes and revetments. The city of Osceola serves as the primary hub, where the Osceola Port Terminal and Osceola Landing underscore the continued importance of river-based commerce. The landscape is heavily managed for flood control, evidenced by the prominent Levee Rd and protective structures like the Island Number Thirty Revetment and Plum Point Dikes.

Genealogical interest is found in several burial grounds, including the Violet Cemetery and Ermen Lane Cemetery near the city center, and the Driver Cemetery further south near Sans Souci. Moving inland from the river, the terrain transitions into a network of drainage bayous such as Lynch Bayou and Sandy Bayou, supporting small outlying settlements like Grider and Rotan. The area's aviation history is represented by Harwell Airport, located south of the main township.
