About this map

Saint Francis Sunk Lands dominate this portion of the Arkansas Delta, where the Saint Francis River and its various forks, including Lead Fork, fragment the landscape into a series of named islands and sloughs. This wet, low-lying territory is defined by seasonal flooding and a complex drainage network that includes Hatchie Coon Lake and Saint Francis Lake. Small island settlements and prairies such as Maumelle Prairie and Hatchie Coon emerge from the wetlands, connected by an intricate system of rural roads and levees.

Along the western edge, the city of Trumann represents the primary center of development, while smaller rural nodes like Elm Grove, Donnick, and Bunney are scattered across the higher ground. The region's agricultural infrastructure is evident in the numerous numbered ditches, such as Ditch Number 59 and Ditch Number 17, which are essential for managing the water levels of this distinctive alluvial environment.
