1972 Map of Rosa

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this mid-1970s survey of the borderlands between Arkansas and Tennessee, revealing an intricate network of waterways and managed drainage. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the river's active channel—featuring Canadian Reach and O'Donnell Bend—and the engineered system of canals such as Ditch No 12 and Ditch No 32 that drain the fertile bottomlands. Small settlements like Rosa and Tomato serve as focal points for the agricultural community, while the presence of family-named sites like Mann Cem and Hatchie Cem provides a clear record of local lineage in Mississippi County. The river’s shifting geography is evident in the numerous islands and towheads, including Tellier Island, Forked Deer Island, and Fletcher Towhead, alongside several historic river access points like Ashport Landing and Daniels Point Landing that once facilitated transport along this vital corridor.
