1968 Map of Des Arc East

About this map

The White River meanders through the heart of this Prairie County landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and sloughs that define the region's geography. The town of Des Arc sits prominently on the western bank, supported by infrastructure like the Pumping Station and Gaging Sta. The winding river channel has left behind numerous named water bodies, including Horseshoe Lake, Alligator Lake, and Spring Lake, illustrating a landscape in constant flux. To the east, the terrain transitions into the Cypress Swamp and the bottomlands of the Cache River, where features like Culotches Bay and Beaver Bayou weave through the low-lying ground.
