About this map

The confluence of the Little Red River and the White River defines this riverine landscape at the border of White County and Woodruff County. The settlement of Georgetown sits near the southern edge, connected by State Hwy 262 and Heathscott Rd to the interior wetlands. The terrain is characterized by complex hydrography, including the winding Glaise Creek, numerous oxbows like Whirl Lake, and named river bends such as Devils Elbow and Ealand Bend.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Nimmo to the north and the Nelson Cem near the western edge. The map documents an extensive network of backwater features, from Cypress Slough and Cache Bayou to isolated water bodies like Little Hurricane Lake and Little Green Tom Lake. This survey illustrates the persistent watery geography of the region, where land use is dictated by the seasonal movements of these major Arkansas waterways.
