1968 Map of De Valls Bluff NE

About this map

The Cache River and its intricate network of sloughs and oxbow lakes dominate this 1960s landscape, illustrating the complex hydrology of eastern Arkansas before modern intensive drainage. From Cotton Plant in the north to the edge of Brinkley in the southeast, the terrain is a mosaic of bottomlands and agricultural clearings. The Dagmar State Game Area preserves a significant portion of this riverine environment, featuring named water bodies like Hickson Lake and Mud Slough. Rural life is centered around community landmarks such as Trices Chapel, Mt Pleasant Ch, and Ash Grove Ch. The presence of the Trice Cem and Ash Grove Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in the Richland and Freeman districts. This survey also records the county lines of Prairie, Woodruff, and Monroe as they intersect among the bayous and the topographic rise of Upper Surrounded Hill.
