About this map

Fair Oaks and Penrose anchor this 2014 survey of the Arkansas Delta, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Bayou De View. The map illustrates a region structured by agricultural commerce and small-town junctions, centered around the Us-49 corridor. The western edge is dominated by a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes, including Sullivan Lake, Chambers Lake, and Brushy Lake, which trace the prehistoric movements of the bayou.

Aviation infrastructure is notable for such a rural area, with both Mc Crory/Morton Airport and Penrose Airport serving the region's transport needs. Further south, the settlements of Bemis and Barson sit near the confluence of several county lines, marking the intersection of Woodruff, Cross, and St. Francis counties. The drainage patterns of Second Cr and Conley Cr move eastward, contrasting the southern flow of the bayou system.
