About this map

The White River carves a serpentine path through this 2014 survey of northeastern Arkansas, defining the borders of Jackson, Woodruff, and White Counties. The landscape is characterized by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous oxbow lakes and sloughs like Big Horseshoe Lake, Little Horseshoe Lake, and Duck Roost Slough. Small agricultural settlements and community hubs are scattered across the alluvial plains, including Bengel, Ingleside, and Old Grand Glaise.

Local history is grounded in specific landmarks like Spriggs Mill and the Deitz School, which point to the rural foundations of the area. Genealogists can identify burial sites at Antioch Cem and White Lake Cem near the community of Pleasant Grove. The prevalence of named river features, such as Cooper Bend, Baines Bend, and Petit Glaise Bar, underscores how the shifting river channels have historically dictated land use and transportation in this region south of the Newport area.
