1939 Map of Readland

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Mississippi River meanders define the landscape of this delta region, where Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana meet. The 1939 survey captures a complex aqueous geography marked by engineered interventions like the Worthington Cut-Off 1933 and the ancient Grand Lake Cut-Off 1796-1817. These bypasses have left behind a series of oxbows and islands, including Island No 88 and the massive Cracraft Towhead. Along these shifting banks, a network of river landings such as Seven Oaks Ldg and Carriola Ldg supported the local economy.
