About this map

The White River carves a complex, winding path through the delta landscape of Arkansas and Desha Counties, defining a region dominated by intricate oxbows and marshy bayous. Along its serpentine course, river-oriented settlements like Prairie Landing and Jacks Bay Landing mark historical points of access to the water. The map documents a landscape saturated with water features, including Wolf Bayou, Caney Bayou, and numerous lakes such as Goose Lake and Lost Lake that speak to the shifting nature of the river over time.

Evidence of local history and family settlement is found at Malcolm Cem and Hockenberry Cem, tucked away from the main river channel. The infrastructure of the area is highlighted by the Arkansas Post Canal Reservoir and a network of rural roads like Benzal Rd and Tichnor Blacktop Rd that connect isolated points like Benzal. This survey captures the region's balance between managed waterways and the natural tendency of the delta to collect water in named basins like Laboring Bay and Johnson Bay.
