2018 Map of Stubbs Island

About this map

Stubbs Island sits at the heart of this volatile riverine landscape, where the shifting channels of the Mississippi River and the Saint Francis River define the boundary between Arkansas and Mississippi. The area is characterized by a complex network of chutes, bars, and cut-offs, reflecting the natural engineering of the delta. Landmarks such as Hardin Cut-Off and Kate Adams Chute reveal the historical bypasses that have reshaped navigation and land ownership over decades. To the south, the map captures a portion of the St. Francis National Forest, illustrating the transition from managed timberland to the open water of Tunica Lake. Numerous smaller water bodies like Cannon Lake and Laddie Lake dot the alluvial plain, while specific river features like Shoo Fly Bar and Island Number 58 indicate the precise points once vital to river pilots and local landholders.
