2011 Map of Pecan Point

About this map

Pecan Point and the surrounding river bottomlands of Mississippi County occupy a complex landscape of chutes and bars along the Mississippi River. This reach of the river is defined by large island masses like Island Number Thirty-seven and Brandywine Island, which are protected from the shifting current by engineered structures including the Pecan Point-Dean Island Dikes and Densford Dikes. The settlement pattern reflects the agricultural and river-based economy of the early 21st century, with small communities like Corona and Black Cat connected by rural routes such as Corona Rd.
