1982 Map of Stubbs Island

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the shifting boundary between Arkansas and Mississippi in this early 1980s survey, a landscape of oxbows and river islands. The volatile nature of the river is evident in the presence of the Hardin Cut-off and the Kate Adams Chute, which separate large landmasses like Stubbs Island from the mainland. To the west, the St Francis River meanders through Lee and Phillips counties, creating a network of backwater lakes including Laddie Lake, Brushy Lake, and Gober Lake.
