About this map

Mount Zion Cemetery and the crossroads of Democrat define the southern landscape of this eastern Arkansas region, where complex drainage networks shaped early settlement patterns. The area is crisscrossed by several prominent waterways, including Blackfish Bayou, Twentymile Bayou, Cut-off Bayou, and Fifteenmile Bayou, which weave through the agricultural flats. Small communities such as Chatfield, Greasy Corner, and Tarsus are connected by a grid of rural roads, including Mallory Rd and Simsboro Rd.

The presence of Mallory Spur and Wildwood reflects the importance of local rail and transport infrastructure in the Mississippi Delta. Near the northern boundary, Blackfish Lake serves as a significant hydrologic feature, while the namesake Browns and Jonquil anchor the central and northeastern sections. This 2011 survey captures the distribution of rural farmsteads and specialized landmarks like Myers Bridge, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure that supports this alluvial plain.
