About this map

The White River carves a serpentine path through the Arkansas lowlands, defining the boundary between White and Woodruff counties. This landscape is shaped by the water, featuring dramatic oxbows and bends like North Missouri Bend and Hawkins Bend. The river's influence is evident in the numerous namesake water bodies such as Big Jordan Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Bacon Lake that dot the surrounding floodplains.

Settlement patterns follow the higher ground and major transport corridors, with Augusta anchored on the eastern bank of the river near the Augusta Bridge. Inland, smaller communities like Worden, Keeler Corner, and Rio Vista are connected by a network of rural roads such as Us-64 and Ar 367. For those tracing local history, the Smith Cem remains a notable landmark amidst the complex system of creeks and sloughs, including Glaise Creek and the meandering Fourteen Slough.
