About this map

Brinkley serves as the focal point of this Eastern Arkansas landscape, situated at a crossroads of regional transportation and drainage. The town's grid is dense with local history, including several burial grounds like Oaklawn Cem and Haven Rest Cem, as well as the Frank Federer Memorial Airport. To the north, smaller settlements such as Fargo, Zent, and Saulsburg are scattered among a complex network of waterways. Significant features include the slow-moving waters of Bayou De View and Maple Slough, along with several oxbow-style lakes like Big Cotton Lake and Mill Lake.

Agricultural land use is reflected in the extensive system of ditches and creeks, such as Piney Ditch and Coon Tail Cr, designed to manage the low-lying terrain. The transition between Monroe Co and Woodruff Co is clearly marked, illustrating the political geography of the Grand Prairie region. From the larger waters of Lake Greenlee to remote landmarks like Macedonia Cem, the map documents a community deeply tied to its delta environment.
