2014 Map of Gould

About this map

Gould sits at the northern edge of this landscape where the Arkansas Delta transitions between Lincoln and Desha counties. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses and agricultural drainage, including the winding Wagon Bayou and Eugene Bayou. The primary transportation corridor, US 65 Hwy, connects the larger settlements of Mitchellville and Dumas in the south to the smaller clusters of Rotan and Reedville. For those looking into local lineage, the map identifies several family-named or community burial sites such as Thomas Cem, Madden Cem, and Banks Cem. Aviation history is represented by the Billy Free Municipal Airport, while the intricate grid of rural roads like Od Nickols and Huckols Rd provides a look at the modern rural property layout in this section of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain.
