2014 Map of Wittsburg

About this map

The Saint Francis River winds through this landscape, creating a complex series of bends and bars including Wittsburg Island, Austelle Bar, and Filligrum Bend. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Saint Francis Floodway in the east to more elevated ground near Wittsburg and Levesque in the west. This area is defined by its water-dependent geography, where numerous sloughs and drains like Copeland Slough and Turkey Roost Drain crisscross the delta. Local history is anchored by sites such as Saint Marks Cem and Walters Cem, while the southern portion of the map highlights the recreational and ecological value of Lake Dunn and Lake Austell. The border between Cross Co and St. Francis Co runs through the lower third of the quadrangle, passing near the small settlement of Kinton.
