About this map

The Saint Francis River and its intricate network of former channels and oxbows define this corner of the Arkansas Delta. In the north, Parkin and Riverside sit near the river's bend, while the landscape to the south is dotted with small, agriculture-oriented settlements including Gieseck, Duvall, and Gladden. The geography is dominated by water features like Parkin Slough, Old River, and Shaver Lake, illustrating the shifting nature of the local hydrology over time.

Transport is centered on the corridor of Ar 75 HWY, which links these dispersed communities. Genealogists and local historians can trace the development of the region through specific locales such as Rose Place and Midway, and water bodies like Little Blackfish Lake and Patterson Lake that mark the low-lying terrain. The map also records the jurisdictional boundaries where Cross Co meets Crittenden Co and St. Francis Co.
