About this map

Mill Bayou and Hurricane Bayou weave through this section of Arkansas County, defining a landscape heavily engineered for water management. The area is characterized by a sophisticated network of agricultural irrigation and drainage, featuring numerous reservoirs such as Hillman Reservoir Number Two, Fullers Reservoir, and Sollars Reservoir. Small settlements like Olena and Burks serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. The infrastructure of the Grand Prairie region is visible in the grid-like placement of Lateral Number 6, Lateral Number 9, and Lateral Number 13, which support the intensive rice and soybean cultivation typical of this part of Arkansas. Local roads, often bearing family names like McDougall Rd and Burks Switch Rd, connect these rural communities across the flat terrain.
