2017 Map of Pecan Point

About this map

Pecan Point sits atop a sharp bend in the Mississippi River, where the state boundary between Arkansas and Tennessee follows the shifting path of the river's historic channel. This complex riparian landscape is defined by former chutes and river-cut islands, such as Island Number Thirty-seven and Dean Island, which illustrate the volatile nature of the river before modern engineering stabilized its banks. Small settlements like Corona and Shawnee are connected by rural routes such as Old River Slough Rd and Corona Rd, serving an area dominated by agricultural fields and flood-prone bottomlands.
