About this map

Bayou De View snakes through this low-lying region of Eastern Arkansas, creating a landscape defined by oxbows and sloughs. Small agricultural settlements like Howell, Becton, and Casey are distributed along the road networks, often centered near family or community burial grounds. Several of these landmarks, including Reneau Cem, Holly Cem, and Crowder Cem, provide essential anchor points for researchers tracing the historical footprint of rural Woodruff and Monroe Counties.

The presence of numerous named water bodies, such as Little York Lake, Bushy Lake, and Polly Ann Lake, indicates a highly saturated environment where drainage dictates the placement of transit routes like Butcher RD and Co RD 680. In the western portion, Nubbin Ridge offers a subtle elevation change in an otherwise flat alluvial plain. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure at the intersection of Woodruff, Monroe, and St. Francis Counties, capturing the locations of small hamlets like McGregor and the town of Hunter along the eastern margin.
