2014 Map of Red Leaf

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the border between Arkansas and Mississippi in this region, where the shifting river channel has created a complex landscape of chutes and bars. Island Number 84, Leland Bar, and Vaucluse Bar illustrate the dynamic nature of the waterway, while Lake Chicot remains as a prominent oxbow lake to the west. On the Arkansas side, small agricultural settlements like Sunnyside, Red Leaf, and Vaucluse are linked by Sunnyside Rd and Lakehall Rd, which follow the higher ground of the natural levees. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Old Lakeport Cem and Red Leaf Cem. Across the river in Mississippi, the city of Greenville stands near Warfield Point, with the settlement of Refuge situated behind the modern levee system that protects the lowlands near Beaver Lake.
