2020 Map of Dumas

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor defines the landscape of this Desha County region, where the river's winding course has left behind a complex network of oxbows and wetlands including Silver Lake and Echubby Lake. The city of Dumas sits in the southwestern corner, showing a detailed grid of streets such as Red Line Rd and Pickens St that serve as a local hub for the surrounding agricultural Delta. Small settlements like Mitchellville and the landing at Pendleton are connected by a system of levees and state routes. This survey highlights the intricate drainage of the basin, dominated by the meandering paths of Oakwood Bayou and Oak Log Bayou. For those tracing local families, the presence of Leach Cem and Jerusalem Cem provides specific points of interest amidst the expansive fields and brakes.
