About this map

Bayou Bartholomew winds through this mid-1960s landscape, its extreme meanders defining the borders between Lincoln, Desha, and Drew Counties. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of seasonal water and swampy features including Fletcher Brake, Campbells Brake, and Gibson Brake, suggesting a floodplain long utilized for agriculture and aquaculture. Human activity is centered around smaller settlements and agricultural outposts like Valley Farm, supported by a dense distribution of rural institutions.
