About this map

Meandering oxbow lakes and complex river cutoffs define this riverine landscape along the border of Arkansas and Mississippi. Centered on the Mississippi River, the map captures a highly engineered alluvial plain where massive water bodies like Lake Washington, Lake Lee, and Grand Lake mark the former paths of the river. The importance of flood control and navigation is evident in features like the Worthington Cut Off (1933) and the earlier American Cutoff (1858), which bypassed the dramatic loops of Worthington Point.
