Birds and Pinkstaff anchor this agricultural region along the border of Crawford and Lawrence counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Embarras River and the Old Channel Embarras River, where numerous ditches and branches like Otter Pond Ditch and Flat Branch manage the drainage of the fertile bottomlands. Small settlements such as Oil Grove and Riddleville sit among a remarkably dense concentration of family-named burial grounds, indicating a deep-rooted genealogical history for the area.
