About this map

The White River carves a winding path through the delta lands of Arkansas and Desha counties, defining a landscape of complex bottomlands and oxbows. This 2020 survey illustrates the hydrological character of the region, where the river loops through Buffalo Bend and past Carolina Point. The territory is saturated with water features, from the expansive La Grue Bayou and La Grue Lake to numerous named bayous and basins such as Laboring Bay and Honey Locust Bayou. These features suggest a landscape traditionally governed by seasonal flooding and shifting river channels.

Evidence of rural life and transit is etched into the higher ground bordering these wetlands. Local routes like Tichnor Blacktop Rd and Benzal Rd connect isolated homesteads and family landmarks. Genealogists can identify established burial sites including Malcom Cem near the northern boundary and Hockenberry Cem to the south. The prevalence of names like Cow-Pen Bend and Whisky Lake reflects a long history of local navigation and land use in this riverine environment.
