2024 Map of Pecan Point

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a complex, ever-shifting landscape of chutes, bars, and islands along the border of Arkansas and Tennessee. This survey captures a terrain defined by hydraulic forces, where Centennial Island and the Centennial Cutoff indicate a significant historical shift in the river's main channel. The settlement of Pecan Point sits near the riverbank, while the interior is marked by small communities like Shawnee. Genealogists may find value in the scattered burial grounds that remain on the higher ground of these river islands, including Jacob Cem, Barrow Cem, and Corona Cem. The presence of features such as Devils Race Course and Happy Valley Bar suggests the difficult navigation and localized landforms typical of the lower Mississippi floodplains. Extensive wetland systems surround Corona Lake and Pumpkin Lake, illustrating the reclaimed and natural bottomlands of this riverine corridor.
