About this map

Delaplaine sits at the intersection of road and rail in Greene County, serving as the primary hub for this stretch of the Arkansas Delta. The town is anchored by the Delaplaine Post Office and surrounded by a highly engineered landscape of drainage features including the Main Canal, Swan Pond Lateral, and Swan Pond Ditch. These waterways reflect the historical effort to manage the alluvial wetlands of the Cache River basin for agriculture.

Small clusters of settlement such as Evening Star and Black Jack appear along the southern transport corridors, while Jones Ridge rises slightly above the surrounding flats to the north. Genealogy and local history are preserved at the Jones Ridge Cemetery and Bonds Cemetery, which mark the centers of these rural communities. The map detail highlights the dense network of local routes, including several numerical laterals, that define the area's movement and irrigation patterns.
