About this map

White River meanders through this landscape on the border of Woodruff and White Counties, defining a floodplain dense with oxbows and cypress-lined breaks. The river’s winding course is marked by landmarks like Panther Point and numerous sloughs, including Out-off Slough and Goose Pond Slough. To the south, the Hurricane Lake State Game Area encompasses a labyrinth of water bodies such as Big Clear Lake, Little Clear Lake, and Bollie Pond, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Arkansas bottomlands.

Human activity is concentrated along the higher ground and transport corridors, most notably the Missouri Pacific railroad that cuts through the center of the sheet. Small communities like Worden and Rio Vista sit near the tracks, while Keeler Corner serves the northern agricultural reaches. Local family history is rooted in sites like Smith Cem, while the eastern edge shows the outskirts of Augusta where the river transitions toward the town’s waterfront.
