2017 Map of Osceola

About this map

Osceola serves as the focal point of this Mississippi River landscape, where the Arkansas-Tennessee border weaves through a complex system of sandbars and towheads. The river’s shifting nature is evident in the sprawling Plum Point Bend and features like Island Number Thirty and the Bullerton Towhead, illustrating the ongoing geological evolution of the Delta. Inland, the town of Luxora and smaller settlements like Grider and Moran are connected by a network of rural roads and drainage canals, including Lynch Bayou and Catalpa Bayou. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several sites, including Violet Cem, Ermen Lane Cem, and the Driver Cem. The map provides a look at the modern riverfront economy near 718 Port Rd and the agricultural grid that defines this portion of Mississippi County.
