2024 Map of Grays

About this map

Cache River National Wildlife Refuge dominates this section of Woodruff County, where the meandering course of the Cache River and Bayou De View create a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes. Small agricultural settlements like DeView, Wiville, and Grays are interspersed between these protected lands, connected by a grid of county roads. The landscape is characterized by its low-lying drainage features, including Mill Ditch, Locust Slough, and Big Slash. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Gray Cem, Angus Cem, and Barbee Cem. The terrain is generally level, though subtle features like Devils Neck and Nubbin Ridge provide minor elevation changes amidst the bottomlands and sloughs that define the region's geography.
