1971 Map of Point Pleasant

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Point Pleasant sits along the western bank of the Mississippi River, where the borders of Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee meet in a complex geography of river bends and shifting islands. This landscape is defined by the high ground of Scrub Ridge, Barnes Ridge, and LA FON T Ridge, which provided stability for agriculture and settlements like Linda above the flood-prone chutes and sloughs. The map documents a deeply rooted rural community, marked by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Creviosur Cem, Kimes Cem, and Le Sieur Cem. Near the riverbank, the presence of a Ferry, Grain Bins, and a Conveyor illustrates the ongoing importance of the waterway to the local economy. Significant hydrology features like Pecan Chute, Marr Towhead, and Portage Open Bay show the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped land use in New Madrid and Pemiscot counties.
