About this map

The Mississippi River carves a massive, winding path through this Delta landscape, defining the state boundary between Arkansas and Mississippi. Along its western banks in Arkansas, the oxbow of Lake Chicot and the remnants of Whiskey Chute illustrate the river's historical shifts and the resulting complex drainage patterns of Ditch Bayou and Weaver Bayou. Small settlements and landings like Red Leaf, Sunnyside, and Vaucluse are positioned near the massive Levee Rd, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by flood control and agricultural utility.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved among the fields, including Old Lakeport Cem, Red Leaf Cem, and Old Refuge Cem. The presence of Leland Bar and Vaucluse Bar alongside Walker Bend underscores the river's active deposition and erosion. Farther east across the water, the periphery of Greenville and the industrial activity near Warfield Point signal the transition to the more urbanized Mississippi side of the river.
