The town of Gould serves as the primary hub in this low-lying stretch of the Delta, where the grid-like organization of agricultural land meets a complex network of waterways. Water management dominates the landscape, evidenced by the presence of the Holthoff Reservoir, the Ladd Canal, and the Kerch Canal, all designed to control drainage and irrigation across the fertile plains of Lincoln and Desha Counties. This intersection of human engineering and natural hydrology is further marked by numerous brakes and bayous, including Gibson Brake and the meandering Wagon Bayou.
