About this map

Dumas serves as the primary hub for this Delta region, showing a dense network of local streets including Pickens St and Red Line Rd. The landscape is defined by the slow curves of the Arkansas River and its intricate system of oxbow lakes and wetlands, such as Silver Lake and Cypress Brake. These features reflect a legacy of flood control and agricultural drainage, with numerous bayous like Oakwood Bayou and Dayton Bayou threading through the lowlands.

Genealogists can find several important landmarks, including the Leach Cem and Jerusalem Cem. Smaller settlements like Pendleton and Back Gate appear alongside the expansive riverfront, where the Levee and Great River Rd track the water’s edge. The map also captures the convergence of Lincoln Co Desha Co and Arkansas Co Desha Co lines, marking the administrative boundaries that define these rural communities.
