About this map

Rosedale sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the shifting curves of the Mississippi River where it meets the state line between Mississippi and Arkansas. This area is defined by the complex hydrography of the alluvial plain, featuring an intricate network of chutes, bayous, and oxbow lakes like Lake Beulah and Ozark Lake. The town's grid is clearly visible, with streets such as Martin Luther King Dr and Main St leading toward the riverbanks.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites, including Pleasant Grove Cem and Anns Tabernacle Cem, which serve as landmarks within the agricultural surroundings. The map documents the river's dynamic nature through features like Chute of Island Number 73 and Beulah Island Number 74, showing how the water has carved out Big Island and numerous points such as Knowlton Point. The presence of Riverton Landing and Beulah Island Landing further illustrates the historic reliance on river access for the region's movement and commerce.
