About this map

The White River carves a complex path through this landscape, defining the boundaries where Arkansas, Monroe, and Phillips counties meet. The river's serpentine course has created numerous oxbows and riverine features, such as Big Horseshoe Lake, Little Horseshoe Lake, and the expansive Big Island. This area is dominated by wetlands and intricate water systems, including Big Creek and Oak Bayou, which underscore the region's alluvial character.

Evidence of local history and family heritage is found in the presence of Chute Cem near the western riverbank and Jones Cem further south. The map documents a landscape primarily defined by its hydrology, with numerous named points like Cottonwood Point and Lone Willow Point marking the sharp bends of the river. Small roads like Refuge Rd and Jones Lake Rd provide the only terrestrial links through this water-heavy terrain.
