About this map

Hickory Ridge and Fisher anchor this survey of the Arkansas Delta, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses and agricultural drainage. Running along the western edge, Bayou De View and Old Forked Slough indicate the low-lying, often marshy terrain characteristic of this region. The map reveals a highly structured grid of county roads, such as Green Crossing Rd and Poinsett Co Line Rd, which manage the transit between expansive fields and small settlements like Pittinger.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of Wyatts Cem near Brushey Lake, providing a clear point of reference for early family plots in the area. Numerous small tributaries including Gum Slough, Twomile Cr, and Caney Cr wind through the acreage, illustrating the natural irrigation patterns that support the local economy. The transition from Poinsett to Cross County is clearly delineated, showing how these political boundaries intersect with the physical geography of the Grand Prairie.
