About this map

Wabbaseka Bayou and the winding course of Bayou Meto dominate this Arkansas delta landscape along the Jefferson and Arkansas County line. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage and wetlands, including Hurricane Slough, Boggy Slough, and the expansive Halowell Reservoir. The small settlement of Vallier sits in the northeast, while the Williams Cem provides a point of genealogical interest near the northern edge. This survey illustrates the modern agricultural and water management patterns of the region, where numerous named laterals like Lateral Number 1 and Lateral Number 2 feed into natural bayous. The map records a complex hydrologic system of sloughs and ponds, such as Government Cypress Slough and Long Pond, which have long shaped the land use and settlement patterns of these two counties.
