About this map

Mill Bayou and its surrounding wetlands form the central spine of this Arkansas County landscape, where the Grand Prairie meets the intricate drainage networks of the Mississippi Delta. The small settlements of Kittlers, Olena, and Burks are connected by a grid of rural roads and state routes, including State Hwy 343. This area is defined by its sophisticated agricultural water management systems, visible through numerous man-made features such as Fullers Reservoir, Thomas Reservoir, and Sollars Reservoir. The map illustrates a complex hydrographic pattern of natural bayous like Hurricane-Bayou and Little LaGrue Bayou alongside engineered channels including Lateral Number 13 and several numbered ditches. This infrastructure reflects the intensive rice and soybean farming traditions that have shaped the economy and geography of this region for generations.
