About this map

Georgetown and McClelland anchor this landscape where the White River winds through the wetlands of White, Woodruff, and Prairie counties. The river's serpentine course is defined by numerous named bends and bluffs, including Orlando Bend, Peach Orchard Bluff, and Smokehouse Bluff. These geographic markers, alongside Canal Point and McCrutchen Bend, suggest a history of river navigation and early landmarking in this flood-prone region.

Away from the main channel, the map reveals a complex network of bayous and sloughs such as Deep Bank Slough, Pigpen Slough, and Bear Slough. The presence of Kings Cem near Kings Bluff provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking local families. Rising above the lowlands, features like Upper Surrounded Hill, Lost Hill, and Sand Hill provide rare elevated terrain in this bottomland environment.
