About this map

The White River and its intricate network of side channels and oxbows dominate this Arkansas Delta landscape, illustrating a complex riverine environment shaped by seasonal flooding and agricultural management. The Big Island Shute and Indian Bay wind through the terrain, creating a geography of points and bends such as Cottonwood Point and Raft Bend. The presence of the Lambrook Levee and various water control structures like the Pike Pond Dam and Horton Lake Dam indicate the ongoing efforts to manage the wetlands for both local use and flood prevention.

Local history is anchored by family-named landmarks and small-scale infrastructure. Hortons Landing serves as a notable settlement point, while the Chute Cemetery and Jones Cemetery provide essential touchstones for genealogical research in the region. The map also documents numerous named water bodies, including Eagle Nest Lake and Moon Lake, which reflect the historical reliance on these backwaters for sustenance and transit in this pocket of Arkansas County.
