About this map

Mississippi River bottomlands and the rugged bluffs of Adams County define this 2018 survey of the Mississippi-Louisiana border. The landscape is split between the low-lying alluvial plains of Annas Bottom and the intricate drainage networks of Coles Creek and Fairchilds Cr. Historically significant sites like the Natchez Trace Parkway cut across the southern reach near the settlement of Pine Ridge, while the small community of Anna sits perched above the river's edge.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites across the ridges, including Painters Cem, Adams Cem, and the Drake-Magruder Cem. The map illustrates a complex hydraulic environment where old river channels have formed features like Fields Lake, Junkins Lake, and Pies Slough. These water bodies and islands, such as Mercer Island and Fairchilds Island Number 114, document the shifting nature of the river boundary over time.
