About this map

White River oxbows and bottomlands dominate this 1960s survey of the borderlands between Jackson, White, and Woodruff Counties. The landscape is defined by the shifting course of the river, leaving behind a complex network of remnant water bodies like Big Horseshoe Lake, Yancopin Lake, and McDougal Lake. Human presence is marked by small settlements and family-named landmarks such as Old Grand Glaise, Ingleside, and Bengel.

Agricultural development is evident in the extensive Levee systems, including the Gibson Levee, and the presence of Spriggs Mill. The interior is dotted with local spiritual centers like White Lake Ch, Horseshoe Ch, and Lake Grove Ch, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogical research. The river navigation is marked by specific mileage points, while the terrain features distinct labels like Negro Bill Point, reflecting the local nomenclature of the mid-20th century.
