About this map

The White River winds through this Jackson County landscape, creating a complex network of oxbow lakes, sloughs, and bars that define the region's geography. Meanders such as Cooper Bend and Baines Bend are flanked by numerous water bodies including Big Horseshoe Lake, Beaver Dam Lake, and Spradlin Lake. These natural features, alongside the Gibson Levee, illustrate the ongoing human effort to manage the alluvial environment for small rural settlements like Ingleside and Bengel.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks like the Deitz School and the White Lake Cemetery in the south. The presence of Spriggs Mill and the Antioch Cemetery near Pleasant Grove highlights the dispersed community structures typical of the Arkansas delta. The naming of terrain features like Negro Bill Point and Petit Glaise Bar reflects the deep-seated cultural and navigational history of the river system, while the extensive grid of county roads connects these isolated points across the lowland terrain.
