2011 Map of De Witt

About this map

De Witt serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Arkansas County, defined by a network of drainage bayous and small reservoirs. The town's grid is anchored by the De Witt Post Office and surrounded by a concentration of local heritage sites, including the De Witt Cemetery and Morning Glory Cemetery. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into large-scale farming tracts where irrigation is managed through numerous impoundments like McKewen Lake and Mitchell Lake. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as the Jackson Cemetery and McDaniel Cemetery, which offer valuable coordinates for genealogists. Waterways like La Grue Bayou and Little LaGrue Bayou wind through the terrain, their courses occasionally interrupted by structures such as the McKewen Lake Dam and Miller Lake Dam.
