About this map

Cache River and Robe Bayou dominate this Eastern Arkansas landscape, winding through a complex system of bottomlands and oxbow lakes such as Little Buck Lake, Big Buck Lake, and Hammond Lake. The southern portion of the quadrangle is largely occupied by the Dagmar State Game Area, featuring significant water bodies like Hickson Lake and Mud Slough. This 1960s survey illustrates a region where the natural hydrology of the Mississippi Delta meets agricultural development in townships like Richland and Freeman.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered around rural gathering places like Mt Pleasant Ch, Ash Grove Ch, and Olive Branch Ch. The landscape is dotted with numerous wells and small landmarks, including the Trice Cem and a remote Landing Strip near the Woodruff and Monroe county line. The elevation change at Upper Surrounded Hill provides a distinct break in the otherwise level river plains.
