About this map

Humphrey sits at the intersection of five Arkansas counties, serving as a focal point for this landscape of managed wetlands and agricultural drainage. This 2014 survey reveals a complex hydrological network where natural features like Bayou Meto and Crooked Creek coexist with man-made interventions such as Big Ditch, Lateral Number 5, and the Randolph Reservoir. The presence of the Bayou Meto Cem and Flynn Cem provides important points of reference for genealogists tracing families in this multi-county border region.

The terrain is defined by sluggish water bodies and low-lying basins, including Hufford Brake, Bear Slough, and Flynn Slough. These features, along with Glenwood Lake, illustrate the transition between the Grand Prairie and the Arkansas Delta. The local road system, including Osborne Ln and Hammans-White Rd, follows the section lines and the meandering path of the bayou, reflecting a long history of rural settlement and land use across Jefferson, Arkansas, Lonoke, and Prairie counties.
