About this map

Saint Francis River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, defining the border between Arkansas and Mississippi along the Old Walnut Bend. The terrain is deeply intertwined with its hydrography, featuring intricate systems like S Alligator Bayou, Raft Bayou, and Frenchman Bayou that cut through the low-lying Delta lands. Small communities such as Brickeys, Raggio, and Whitehall are connected by a network of state and local roads, including State Hwy 131.

Family and community history is preserved in numerous rural burial sites scattered across the map, such as Ward Farm Cem, Johnson Cem, and Shepherd Grove Cem. The presence of Whiskey Island and Bordeaux Island near the river's path highlights the shifting nature of the local waterways over time. Aviation history is noted at Taylor Airport, situated centrally among the agricultural fields and bayous.
