About this map

The Saint Francis River winds through the northwestern corner of this landscape, defining a region where the low-lying terrain of the Arkansas Delta is shaped by numerous sloughs, lakes, and bayous. The settlement of Parkin sits near the river's edge, serving as a focal point for a network of rural roads that connect smaller communities like Duvall, Gieseck, and Gladden. This area exhibits a typical Delta drainage pattern, where water bodies such as Walnut Timber Lake, Patterson Lake, and Little Blackfish Lake are scattered across the agricultural plains.

Evidence of local heritage is preserved at the Jackson Cem near the southern boundary, where the line between Cross County and St. Francis County is established. The map details a complex system of county roads, including State Hwy 306 and Smithdale Rd, which navigate around features like Parkin Slough and Allen Bayou, reflecting the ongoing relationship between human infrastructure and the persistent wetlands of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain.
