1939 Map of Readland

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this landscape along the Arkansas-Louisiana-Mississippi border, defined by a complex network of meander scars and cut-offs. The legacy of hydraulic engineering is evident in features like the American Cut-Off 1858 and the Grand Lake Cut-Off 1796-1817, which reflect over a century of efforts to tame the river's course. Numerous river landings such as Princeton Ldg, Seven Oaks Ldg, and Longwood Ldg suggest a period when river-borne commerce was central to local life, connecting inland settlements to the broader world.
