1968 Map of Humphrey SW

About this map

Bayou Meto State Game Area dominates this section of the Arkansas delta, where a complex network of waterways defines the landscape. The intricate drainage system of Salt Bayou, Wabbaseka Bayou, and Hurricane Slough illustrates the region's managed hydrology during the late 1960s. Local life is anchored by small rural institutions such as Corinth Ch, Bayou Meto Ch, and the Williams Cem, while the small settlement of Vallier sits near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map details a landscape transitioning from wild bottomlands to agricultural use, marked by features like Fish Lake, Long Pond, and a Landing Strip. The boundary between Jefferson and Arkansas counties cuts through this water-rich territory, following the path of the Salt Bayou Ditch and other natural channels.
