Arcadia

Mississippi's ghost towns are river ports and cotton towns, plus lumber camps that clear-cut the pine hills.

Arcadia is a ghost town in Issaquena County, Mississippi, United States. Arcadia was a postal town located on the Mississippi River. It had a population of 45 in 1900. A post office operated under the name Arcadia from 1882 to 1919. The former community is today called "Arcadia Point", and is located on the east side of an uninhabited island within the Mississippi River.

The on-the-ground condition of Arcadia is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Arcadia is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times. The mapped point for Arcadia is roughly 32.6486, -91.1256 — use it as a starting point and cross-reference a current topographic map before leaving pavement.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
