About this map

The Arkansas River carves a dramatic path through this section of the Arkansas Delta, defining a landscape of oxbow lakes and alluvial bottomlands at the Lincoln and Jefferson County line. The meandering river has left behind significant remnants of its former course, most notably at Douglas Old River Lake and Lake Bend, while Cummins Bend remains a prominent feature of the modern waterway.

Settlement patterns in this agricultural region are clustered around small communities like Douglas, Hannaberry, and Varner. For those tracing family histories in the area, several rural burial sites are documented, including Douglas Cem, Lee Cem, and Ross Cem. The complex drainage system is further detailed by the Little Bayou Meto and Choctaw Bayou, which thread through the fields and woodlands alongside a network of rural routes such as State Hwy 114.
