About this map

Georgetown and the surrounding river bottomlands are the focal point of this survey, where the winding White River forms a complex boundary between White and Woodruff Counties. The landscape is defined by its hydraulic character, featuring an intricate network of oxbow lakes, sloughs, and bayous such as Cache Bayou and Glaise Creek. These water features, including Three Sisters Lake and Big Hurricane Lake, suggest a flood-prone environment where local transportation once relied heavily on river navigation and specific landing points.

Evidence of rural community life is seen at Nimmo and Mitchell Corner, while the Nelson Cem serves as a significant site for genealogical research. The geography is punctuated by distinctive river landmarks like Devils Elbow, Postal Bend, and Taylor Bend, which highlight the dramatic meanders of the river system. This map provides a clear record of the intersection between the Little Red River and the White River, detailing the road network such as Cypert Bluff Rd that connects these low-lying settlements.
