2024 Map of Stubbs Island

About this map

Mississippi River dynamics define this stretch of the border between Arkansas and Mississippi, where the river's shifting path has created a complex network of bars, bends, and chutes. The central feature, Stubbs Island, sits adjacent to the meandering Tunica Lake, while the Hardin Cut-Off illustrates the engineering and natural forces that have altered the river's main channel over time. To the west, the Saint Francis National Forest protects the lowlands between the Saint Francis River and the big river, preserving a landscape of oxbows and swampy depressions like Gober Lake and Laddie Lake.
