2014 Map of Osceola

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this 2014 survey, illustrating the complex hydrology of the border between Arkansas and Tennessee. The city of Osceola serves as the primary hub, situated just west of the shifting river channels and notable terrain features like Plum Point Bend and Island Number Thirty. The map details the transition from the organized street grid of the town to the surrounding agricultural landscape, where small communities like Sans Souci and Grider are connected by a network of county roads. Local history is preserved through several burial grounds, including Violet Cem and Driver Cem, while the river's dynamic nature is evident in the many towheads and bars, such as Kate Aubrey Towhead and Plum Point Bar. The presence of the Levee Rd highlights the ongoing engineering efforts required to manage the floodplain of this vital waterway.
