About this map

The White River National Wildlife Refuge dominates this landscape, preserving a complex system of bottomland hardwoods and oxbow lakes along the meandering White River. The boundary between Phillips and Arkansas counties follows the river's winding path, illustrating how political borders were often tied to shifting watercourses. Numerous named lakes such as Horseshoe Lake, Star Lake, and Bear Lake indicate former river channels, while features like Jackass Point and Wamac Point mark the sharp bends of the contemporary waterway. Evidence of human adaptation to the floodplain is visible at Hudsons Landing and a Pumping Station near Little Island, where levees and managed drainage allow for agricultural activity in the eastern sections of the quadrangle. The intricate network of smaller tributaries, including Essex Bayou and Prairie Bayou, highlights the seasonal rhythm of the Delta's wetlands in the mid-1960s.
