About this map

Floyd serves as a central hub in this White County landscape, where the foothills of the Interior Highlands begin to give way to the drainage systems of the Bayou Des Arc. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and peaks, such as Red Bluff, Nipper Mtn, and Waldon Mtn, which separate the various creek valleys. Numerous family-named landmarks and rural settlements like Gravel Hill, Harmony, and Antioch indicate a long-standing agricultural and residential pattern.

Genealogists can trace local history through sites such as Quattlebaum Cem and Gray Cem, or the namesake Old Schoolhouse Rd. The hydrography of the region is notably complex, with a network of smaller streams including Hog Thief Cr, Cane Cr, and Little Bull Cr feeding the larger bayou system. This survey also records the local infrastructure of the era, from the winding paths of Blackjack Mountain Rd to the more modern Antioch Byp.
