About this map

Mill Bayou and Hurricane Bayou dominate this Arkansas County landscape, illustrating the sophisticated irrigation network that sustains the region's agricultural economy. The land is defined by a series of engineered water management features, including Lateral Number 6, Lateral Number 9, and Lateral Number 13, which connect the natural bayous to private water storage facilities like Fullers Reservoir and Sollars Reservoir.

Small rural clusters such as Burks, Olena, and Kittlers are situated along a grid of section-line roads, many of which bear family names like Eldridge Rd and N Kennedy Rd. These small hubs provided essential services to the surrounding farms, while landmarks like Hillman Pond and Girerd Pond offer specific points of reference for local historians tracing early land use and the development of the Delta's rice and soybean fields.
