About this map

The Saint Francis River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, carving a delta terrain defined by an intricate network of oxbows and sloughs. Settlement patterns in this 2011 survey are largely concentrated along the north-south axis of Highway 75, connecting the small communities of Riverside, Duvall, Gieseck, and Gladden. This alignment reflects the historical development of the region's agricultural interior, where land use is partitioned by a grid of rural roads such as Duval Rd and Gieseck Rd.

Water management and natural drainage are central to the area's character, with features like Paskin Slough and Allen Bayou providing vital irrigation and runoff paths. Local history is reflected in several family-named landmarks and water bodies, including Rose Place, Neelys Lake, and Smith Lake. The southern edge of the map transition into more complex water systems near Midway, where Little Bivens Bayou and Patterson Lake illustrate the low-lying, moisture-rich environment typical of the Arkansas delta.
