About this map

The White River meanders through a landscape defined by complex oxbows and bottomlands in this 2014 study of the area east of Des Arc. The serpentine path of the river creates distinctive features like Wilds Bend and Trimble Island, surrounded by numerous remnant water bodies including Alligator Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Round Lake. These water features suggest the shifting nature of the river channel over time, providing a clear record of the region's fluvial geomorphology.

Small rural settlements and agricultural sites like Erwin, Plunketts, and Bay Plantation are connected by a network of local roads such as N Roland Rd and E Kirkland Rd. Cultural landmarks, including the Saint Luke Cem, anchor the community history of this Prairie County locale. To the southeast, the Cache River flows near the border with Monroe County, marking the transition into the dense sloughs and bayous of the Arkansas Delta.
