About this map

De Witt serves as the central hub of this Arkansas Delta landscape, where a dense grid of residential streets gives way to an expansive agricultural and wetland system. The town is flanked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Morning Glory Cem, Cedarcrest Memorial Gardens, and the McDaniel Cem, which provide significant touchstones for local genealogical research. To the south, the De Witt Municipal Airport Whitcomb Field marks a modern transport node amidst the natural drainages of the region.

The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding paths of Little LaGrue Bayou and Caney Bayou, which feed into a complex network of named water bodies such as Alter Lake and Mitchell Lake. These waterways, combined with numerous ditches like Ditch Number 31, illustrate a landscape heavily managed for irrigation and drainage. Rural life is further mapped through landmarks such as the Fork of LaGrue Cem and McKenzie Cem, highlighting the dispersed settlements that characterize this portion of Arkansas County.
