About this map

The White River carves a complex, winding path through this portion of Woodruff County, creating a landscape defined by dramatic meanders like North Missouri Bend and Bows Bend. This river system dictates the geography of the region, leaving behind numerous oxbows and secondary waterways such as Big Jordan Lake and Taylor Bay. The interaction between the river and the surrounding lowlands is evident in the extensive slough system, including Fourteen Slough and Fifteen Slough, which drain the alluvial plain.

Human activity is concentrated along established corridors like Pipeliner RD and the small settlements of Rio Vista and Worden. For those researching local heritage, the Smith Cemetery serves as a lone landmark of early community life north of Keeler Corner. The transition from riverbank to floodplain is marked by features like Taylor Bay Beach and the strategic Augusta Bridge, while the southern reaches of the map are characterized by larger wetland bodies such as Big Brushy Lake and Bollie Pond.
