Chotard (also Chotard Landing and Woodland) is an unincorporated community in Issaquena County, Mississippi, United States.
Chotard originated as a postal village located directly on the Mississippi River, and had a population of 111 in 1900.[1]
In 1934, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began construction of the Newman Cutoff, which created Chotard and Albemarle Lakes, both oxbow lakes, and removed Chotard from the contiguous Mississippi River.[2]
Cottages now line the lake's edge at Chotard, and the community has become a destination for sport fishermen. The Chotard Landing Resort is located there, and a private boat launch may be accessed for a fee.[3]
