About this map

White River National Wildlife Refuge dominates this riverine landscape at the junction of Arkansas and Desha counties in the late 1960s. The serpentine path of the White River defines the geography, accompanied by a complex system of backwater lakes and bayous including La Grue Bayou and Wolf Bayou. These waterways represent a vital ecological and transport corridor, evidenced by the infrastructure of Lock and Dam No 1 and Lock No 2 along the southern portion of the sheet.

Settlement patterns are sparse, characterized by small river landings and spiritual centers. Malcolm Chapel and Gethsemane Ch serve the local community, while the Hockenberry Cem provides a link to area genealogy. Evidence of early habitation is visible at the Indian Mound Campground, while the Missouri Pacific rail line cuts across the southeastern corner, tying this wetland environment to broader regional markets.
