2020 Map of Des Arc West

About this map

Des Arc sits along the northeastern edge of this landscape, where the street grid meets the curves of Tubbs Cr and the larger Old River Lake. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Wattensaw Bayou and Whippoorwill Cr, which drain the lowlands between scattered settlements like Childers. For genealogists, the map is a detailed record of local burials, specifically marking Oak Grove Cem, Lakeside Cem, Whippoorwill Cem, and White Cem. Transportation and land use are represented by the Taylor Airstrip and numerous rural routes such as Beauchamp Rd and Skarda Rd, showing how the modern agricultural and residential layout of Prairie County is superimposed over the natural drainage basins of Big Cr and Furas Run.
