About this map

Grubbs sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in eastern Arkansas, where the winding path of the Cache River and its intricate network of drainage ditches define the terrain. The map captures a transition of jurisdiction where Jackson, Craighead, and Poinsett counties meet. Settlement patterns are concentrated around small community hubs like Pitts, North Pitts, and Uno, while the rural outskirts are dotted with family and local landmarks such as Denton Island Cem and Sullins Cem.

The hydrologic character of the region is evident in the many named sloughs and ditches designed to manage the low-lying wetlands, including Tupelo Slough, Deep Slough, and the Old Channel Cache River. These features, along with man-made structures like Parsley Reservoir and Gum Pond Ditch, illustrate the long-standing efforts to reclaim and farm the fertile bottomlands. Local history is preserved in the names of thoroughfares like Jackson Road 226 and Rockwright Rd, connecting the scattered farmsteads of the White River valley.
