1939 Map of Refuge

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a labyrinth of oxbows and cut-offs along the border of Arkansas and Mississippi, defining a landscape of complex hydraulic engineering in the late 1930s. Centered on the growing city of Greenville, the map shows a period of intense river management following the 1935 Tarpley Cut-Off and the 1933 Leland Cut-Off, which dramatically straightened the main channel and left behind remnants like Bachelor Bend and Walker Bend.
