About this map

The Mississippi River forms the eastern edge of this landscape, defining the state boundary between Arkansas and Tennessee and the county line between Mississippi and Tipton counties. The topography is dominated by the river's influence, featuring several distinct riverine landforms such as Island Number 35, the Towhead of Island Number Thirty-five, and the Bend of Island Number Thirty-five. These alluvial formations sit alongside engineering efforts like the Golden Lake Revetment, which protects the shoreline near the community of Golden Lake.

Agricultural and industrial heritage is evident in the layout of Wilson, where the Wilson Gin Company sits at the heart of the local economy. A network of smaller settlements including Marie, Driver, and Evadale are connected by roads like Us-61, known historically as a major north-south artery. The map provides significant genealogical value through its documentation of numerous local burial grounds, such as Macedonia Cem, McFadden Cem, and Pleasant Grove Cem, which serve as markers for the area's rural communities.
