About this map

White River oxbows and bottomlands dominate this section of the Arkansas Delta, where the river carves a serpentine path through Prairie Co and Monroe Co. The settlement of De Valls Bluff occupies the high ground overlooking the water, anchored by its proximity to the White River Bridge. The landscape is a complex network of seasonal water bodies and named bends, including Pumps Bend, Coles Bend, and Webb Lake Bend, illustrating the shifting nature of the river's course over time.

Away from the river's edge, the communities of Hazen, Biscoe, and Mesa follow the established transport corridors. Local history and genealogy are preserved in sites such as Oakland Cem, Biscoe Cem, and Harris Cem. The map captures a transition from the dense riverine forests of the Burnt Bayou area to the agricultural ridges of Pfennighausen Ridge and White Oak Ridge, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of central Arkansas in the early twenty-first century.
