About this map

Georgetown and the settlement at Nimmo anchor this 2011 survey of the White County lowlands, where the winding White River meets the Little Red River. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of oxbow lakes, sloughs, and bayous, reflecting the dynamic hydrology of the Arkansas Delta. Significant riparian features like Big Hurricane Lake, Sevenmile Lake, and the meandering Cache Bayou dominate the terrain, illustrating the seasonal flood patterns of the region.

Historically-minded researchers will find evidence of the area's river-dependent past through sites like Princeton Landing and Postal Landing, which recall an era when water transit was central to the local economy. The southern reaches are marked by landmarks such as Nelson Cemetery and Britt Lake, while the road network, including Cyperts Bluff Rd and Hurricane Lake Rd, provides a modern frame for tracing family landholdings and older transit corridors through this wetland environment.
