2018 Map of Rosedale

About this map

Mississippi River and Arkansas River hydrology dominates this riverine landscape at the border of Mississippi and Arkansas. The settlement of Rosedale serves as a focal point near the top of the sheet, situated along the eastern bank near Rosedale Bend and Knowlton Point. This area reflects the complex, shifting nature of the river system, documented through numerous abandoned channels and water bodies like Lake Beulah, Whiskey Chute, and the Napoleon Cutoff. Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Pleasant Grove Cem and Anns Tabernacle Cem, providing evidence of the community's social fabric. The presence of Beulah Crevasse indicates the historical impact of the river's power on the regional geography, while named features like Beulah Island Number 74 and Island Number 73 trace the evolution of the main channel and state boundaries.
