About this map

The town of Gillett sits in the northeast corner of this survey, overlooking a complex riverine landscape dominated by the winding path of the Arkansas River. This section of the river is defined by deep meanders and oxbow formations such as Taylor Old River and Moody Old River, which illustrate the shifting nature of the Delta's waterways over time. Significant water bodies like Bayou Meto, Moore Bayou, and Bills Bayou crisscross the lowlands, creating a network of drainage and transport routes that shaped early settlement.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the dispersed rural landmarks, including Saint Pauls Cemetery, Boggins Cemetery, and Moore Cemetery. River navigation and local commerce are evidenced by identified spots like Moore Landing, South Bend Landing, and Bicker Crossing. The map also captures the agricultural and recreational grid of Arkansas County through routes like Bayou Meto Recreation Rd and Gander Street Rd.
