About this map

The White River carves a complex, winding path through this region of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, defining the boundaries between White, Woodruff, and Prairie Counties. The settlement of Georgetown sits near the northern river bend, while the small community of McClelland is positioned to the east near the Old Railroad Grade. This landscape is characterized by its dynamic hydrology, featuring numerous oxbow lakes and sloughs such as Hicks Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Choctaw Lake.

Elevated riverbanks like Peach Orchard Bluff, Smokehouse Bluff, and Haleys Bluff provide natural landmarks amidst the low-lying wetlands. Much of the area is dedicated to conservation, notably within the Hurricane Lake State Wildlife Management Area. Local history is preserved at sites like Kings Cem, while industrial infrastructure is noted by a Pumping Station and several flumes used for water management across the agricultural townships of Garden and Calhoun.
