About this map

The Cache River and its intricate drainage network, including Roaring Slough and Cache Bayou, dominate this 2011 survey of Woodruff County. The landscape is characterized by a low-lying riparian system punctuated by numerous oxbows and managed waterways like Ditch Number 1. This hydrological pattern historically dictated the placement of agricultural settlements and transport routes, seen here in the clusters of Maberry, Dixie, and Daggett.

To the southeast, the city of Cotton Plant serves as the primary population center, featuring the Cotton Plant Post Office. Local family and community history is preserved through scattered sites such as Beard Cemetery, Shelton Cemetery, and Ebenezer Cemetery. Transportation history is evident at James Ferry on the river, while modern rural infrastructure is represented by the Overholt Landing Strip.
