About this map

The White River meanders through this portion of the Arkansas delta, creating a complex landscape of oxbow lakes, sloughs, and bars. Sharp turns at Cooper Bend and Baines Bend define the river's path, which separates the settlements of Bengel and Ingleside. The area is characterized by its heavy reliance on water drainage, evidenced by the numerous named waterways such as Duck Roost Slough, Hogpen Slough, and Deadman Slough.

Evidence of rural community life is scattered across the township lines of T10N R4W and T9N R3W. Genealogists and local historians will find the Deitz School and several burial sites including Antioch Cem and White Lake Cem. The presence of Spriggs Mill near the junction of Jackson Road 20 points to the agricultural and milling history of this low-lying region where White, Jackson, and Woodruff counties meet.
