About this map

Wabbaseka Bayou and the meandering Bayou Meto dominate this delta landscape along the border of Jefferson and Arkansas Counties. This region is defined by an intricate network of waterways and low-lying basins, including named sloughs like Government Cypress Slough and Bubbling Slough. The small settlement of Vallier sits on the eastern edge of the survey, connected by a grid of rural routes such as Vallier Rd and Cox Cypress Rd.

Evidence of local heritage is visible at the Williams Cem near the northern boundary, while the land's hydrological character is further revealed by features like Salt Lake, Fish Lake, and the expansive Grand Cypress Lake. The mapping of specific drainage channels, including Lateral Number 1 and Lateral Number 2, highlights the agricultural engineering required to manage the wet terrain of the Grand Prairie region in the early 21st century.
