2024 Map of Clarendon

About this map

Clarendon stands as the primary riverfront settlement on this map, situated where several major bayous and forks meet the winding White River. The landscape is dominated by complex river hydraulics, characterized by numerous oxbows, sloughs, and point bars such as Franklin Point and the ominously named Dead Man Point. To the north and south, protected bottomlands within the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge and the Dale Bumpers White River National Wildlife Refuge preserve the native character of the Arkansas Delta. Local history is anchored by the Monroe County Courthouse in the town center, while rural life is traced through outlying landmarks like Shady Grove Cem and Mount Zion Cem. The intricate network of backwater lakes, including Big Weidmann Lake and Otter Lake, illustrates the shifting nature of the river's path over time, including the Crooked Point Cut-off.
