About this map

Hunter and Hillemann anchor this Delta landscape along the St Louis Southwestern railroad corridor during the early 1970s. The geography is defined by a sophisticated water management system of siphons, flumes, and pipelines that support the local agricultural economy, particularly the large Fish Farm operations located north of Old Military Road.

The boundary between Woodruff and St. Francis Counties runs through the eastern portion of the sheet, where natural drainage such as Big Creek and Cypress Creek meanders through the flat terrain. Several landing strips and a network of wells indicate the importance of aerial application and groundwater for the surrounding farms. Notable local points include the small settlement of Four Gums in the southeast and the confluence of Flat Fork Creek and East Fork Creek.
