Bayou Bartholomew snakes through the heart of the Arkansas Delta in this survey, defining a landscape dominated by complex hydrology and oxbow features. The meandering waterway creates distinctive landforms such as Slide Off Bend, Raddish Bend, and Grissoms Bend, while numerous brakes and sloughs like Gibson Brake and Arrington Brake dot the low-lying terrain. The settlement of Gourd sits near the prominent bend known as The Gourd, illustrating how local topography dictated the placement of early communities and roads in this riverine environment.
