About this map

The L'Anguille River lowlands in St. Francis County define this landscape, where a dense network of natural waterways and man-made Irr Canals support the region's agricultural character. Small rural hubs such as Hawkins and Pinetree are joined by the site of Slonikers Mill, a notable local landmark positioned near the river's winding course. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Delta, with First Creek, Second Creek, and Cypress Creek carving paths through the terrain toward the main river channel.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the inclusion of several unnamed Cem sites and established family-named features like Malone Branch. The presence of Spybuck Creek and the settlement at Horton illustrate the early 1980s infrastructure of this riverine corridor. The spatial relationship between the irrigation canals and the natural creeks highlights the mid-century evolution of water management in eastern Arkansas farming communities.
