About this map

Bayou Bartholomew meanders heavily through this Lincoln County landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and secondary waterways that define the local topography. This 2011 survey reveals a rural area centered on the small settlements of Avery, Fresno, and Meroney. The reliance on these waterways and their historical crossings is evident at Mattox Ford and Persons Bridge, which provide essential passage over the shifting bayou and its tributaries like Cane Creek and Village Creek.

Further south, the community of Rose Hill sits near the winding banks of the main bayou, while Mackwee Cemetery serves as a significant genealogical marker for the region's families. The map also traces smaller drainage features such as Panther Slough and Deep Bayou, illustrating the intricate natural drainage system that has historically influenced agricultural patterns and land use in this part of Arkansas.
