About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this eastern Mississippi County landscape, carving a complex path along the Arkansas Tennessee border. The river's dynamic nature is evident through numerous features like Plum Point Bend, Island Number Thirty, and Kate Aubrey Towhead. On the western bank, the city of Osceola serves as a focal point, anchored by the Mississippi County - Osceola Courthouse. The surrounding area is a network of drainage systems and agricultural lands, with Lynch Bayou and Catalpa Bayou feeding into the delta's complex hydrology.

Smaller settlements and named locales such as Luxora, Grider, and Sans Souci are connected by a grid of rural routes and the protective Levee Rd. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several burial sites including Mississippi County Memorial Gardens, Violet Cem, and Driver Cem. These features, combined with the shifting river landmarks like Plum Point Bar and Driver Cutoff, provide a detailed record of the region's relationship with the water and its long-standing rural community structure.
