About this map

The Mississippi River creates a dynamic border along the eastern edge of this quadrangle, shaping the fertile agricultural lands of Mississippi Co. The town of Wilson stands as a primary hub, showing a grid of streets including Main St and Madison St that anchor the local community. The landscape is dotted with several smaller settlements such as Marie, Driver, and Evadale, which are interconnected by a network of county roads like Co RD 892 and Cortez Kennedy Ave.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, including the Macedonia Cem near Wilson and the McFadden Cem closer to Delpro. Along the river, complex fluvial features such as the Towhead of Island Number Thirty-five and Golden Lake Crevasse illustrate the historical influence of the river's shifting path on the Arkansas-Tennessee border, highlighting how the waterway has historically dictated land use and property boundaries.
