About this map

Gould serves as the primary municipal center in this section of the Arkansas Delta, where the gridiron streets of the town sit adjacent to an extensive network of drainage and wetlands. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous bayous, canals, and brakes that have long shaped local land use and boundaries. Low-lying areas like Gibson Brake and Curry Brake punctuate the agricultural fields, while Choctaw Bayou and the Kerch Canal manage the flow of water through the region.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several family and community landmarks, including Thomas Cem and Madden Cem. The transition from rural farmland to small-town settlement is evident as one moves toward Mitchellville and the northern edge of Dumas. Transportation infrastructure, such as the Billy Free Municipal Airport, and a dense system of county roads like Reedville Rd and Cheyenne Rd provide a clear view of the connectivity within Lincoln and Desha Counties.
