About this map

The White River winds through a dense network of oxbows and bottomlands in this 1967 survey of Arkansas County. The river forms the primary geographic spine, separating the developed agricultural fields of the west from the preserved wilderness of the White River National Wildlife Refuge to the east. At the river's edge, the settlement of Crocketts Bluff stands as a focal point for the local community, while further downstream, the town of St Charles anchors the southeastern corner of the quadrangle.

Evidence of local heritage is found in several rural landmarks, including the Lutheran Cemetery and Hopewell Church. The map captures an intricate drainage system where Maddox Bay and numerous named lakes like Beaver Dam Lake and Brushy Lake illustrate the seasonal pulse of the delta. This document preserves the locations of numerous siphons and flumes, reflecting the importance of water management for the surrounding Keaton and Crockett townships.
