2024 Map of Altheimer
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
The low-lying alluvial plains of Jefferson County are defined by a complex network of drainage canals and meandering bayous, reflecting the region's deep agricultural roots. Settlements like Altheimer and Wabbaseka anchor the landscape, while smaller hubs such as Newtown and Lake Dick appear along the local road network. The map reveals an intricate system of water management, visible through named channels like Lateral Number 2 and Barraque Lateral, which support the surrounding farmland. Genealogy interests are well-served by numerous rural burial sites, including Mound Bayou Cem and Damascus Cem. This modern survey highlights how the natural flow of Wabbaseka Bayou and Flat Bayou has been integrated into a structured landscape of section lines and irrigation ditches that define current-day land use in this Arkansas Delta region.
