The White River meanders through a landscape of oxbow lakes and timbered bottoms in this mid-1930s survey of the Arkansas Delta. The river’s shifting course is recorded in the numerous abandoned loops and cutoff bodies of water, including Big Jordan Lake, Walker Lake, and Big Horseshoe Lake. Transport and commerce are defined by the river and the Missouri Pacific railroad, which anchors the riverfront town of Augusta and its neighbor New Augusta. Several family-named landings and ferries, such as Robertson Ferry and Goad Ferry, indicate how residents crossed the water before widespread bridging.
