About this map

Cache River National Wildlife Refuge dominates this landscape in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes defines the geography. The winding path of Bayou De View and Buffalo Creek cut through the terrain, supporting numerous named water bodies like Spivey Lake, Johnson Lake, and Polly Ann Lake. These natural features are interspersed with small agrarian settlements such as Howell, McGregor, and the northern portion of Cotton Plant.

Genealogists will find several rural burial grounds documented, including Holly Cem and Lake Grove Cem. The map illustrates a dense grid of county roads, such as Casey Rd and Butcher Rd, that link these communities across the county lines of Woodruff, Monroe, and St. Francis. The intersection of drainage sloughs and ridges, like Nubbin Ridge, highlights the area's history as a managed riverine ecosystem.
