About this map

De Witt serves as the focal point of this Arkansas County survey, situated amidst the agricultural landscapes of the Keaton and Prairie regions. The town is densely detailed with its Courthouse, Post Office, and specialized facilities like the Home for the Aged and Hospital. A network of schools, including Westside Sch, Southside Sch, and De Witt High Sch, highlights the community's mid-century growth and infrastructure.

The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding paths of La Grue Bayou and Little La Grue Bayou, which cut through the wooded lowlands. Numerous family cemeteries such as Thompson Cem, McDaniel Cem, and McKenzie Cem are scattered across the landscape, providing valuable locations for genealogical research. Connectivity is anchored by the St Louis Southwestern railroad, while local religious life is evidenced by the Church of the First Born and Forks LaGrue Ch.
