2020 Map of Rosedale

About this map

The Bolivar County Courthouse serves as a prominent landmark in this riverfront community, where the town of Rosedale sits at the meeting point of the Mississippi River and the Arkansas River. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Delta, featuring a network of secondary waterways like Lane Bayou, McNeil Slough, and Knowlton Bayou. This survey reveals the shifting nature of the riverbanks through named features like Cumbysville Bar, Prentiss Bar, and the massive Big Island. Genealogists will find several local burial sites, including Pleasant Grove Cem, Anns Tabernacle Cem, and Clark Cem, documenting the area's rural social history. Beyond the town grid, the terrain is fragmented by remnant oxbows and chutes, such as Lake Beulah and Whiskey Chute, which illustrate the enduring influence of the Napoleon Cutoff on the region's geography.
