About this map

Pettus serves as a primary point of reference in this mid-1970s orthophotograph of Lonoke County, which provides a detailed visual record of the Arkansas delta’s agricultural landscape. The imagery reveals a complex patchwork of cultivated fields and drainage patterns defined by local watercourses. Meandering through the terrain are Bakers Bayou and Crooked Cr, their winding paths contrasting with the rigid geometry of the surrounding farms. The presence of Meto and a broad Bayou highlights the hydraulic characteristics of this region, where the natural hydrology has been adapted for large-scale farming. This orthophoto quadrangle is particularly useful for identifying 1970s property boundaries, drainage improvements, and the specific footprint of the settlement at Pettus before subsequent decades of land use changes occurred.
