About this map

Brickeys and its local Brickeys Post Office anchor this section of Lee County, Arkansas, where the alluvial landscape is defined by the winding course of the Saint Francis River and a complex network of bayous. The map captures a rural settlement pattern where family and community heritage is preserved in numerous burial sites like Ward Farm Cemetery, Gassett Cemetery, and Greater Jerusalem Cemetery.

Transport and commerce follow a grid of county roads that navigate around significant water features, including the North Alligator Bayou and the oxbow formations of Old Walnut Bend. The presence of several distinct locales such as Park Place, Tongin, and Whitehall suggests a history of localized farming hubs. To the south, the terrain shifts toward the Mississippi riverbottom environment, evidenced by named landforms like Whiskey Island and Bordeaux Island.
