1983 Map of Wilson
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Mississippi River defines the southeastern edge of this delta landscape, where the boundary between Arkansas and Tennessee shifts across Island No 35 and Towhead Island. In the early 1980s, the agricultural economy of Mississippi County was heavily managed by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Ditch No 9 and Ditch No 32, which supported the surrounding fields. The town of Wilson serves as a central hub, flanked by the Burlington Northern railroad and the Delta Valley & Southern line. Smaller communities like Marie, Driver, and Evadale are scattered throughout the region, often centered around local landmarks such as Rivercrest High Sch or New Mt Zion Ch. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of rural burial grounds like Pleasant Grove Cem and Pittman Cem, providing a clear view of the area's social and industrial infrastructure before modern expansion.
