About this map

Bayou Des Arc meanders through the southern reaches of this landscape, defining a wetland environment filled with intricate hydrology such as Blind Basin and the Coltier Basin. The settlement pattern in this part of White County is characterized by small rural nodes like Belcher, Jasmine, and Showalters Corner, connected by a grid of local roads including Vickers Rd and Cain Rd. The area’s family history is anchored by the Belcher Cemetery and Griffin Cemetery, which stand as quiet landmarks amid the agricultural fields.

Water management and natural terrain features dominate the eastern and northern sections, where Raft Creek and its various sloughs—such as Beaver Pond Slough and Hughes Slough—create a complex network of drainage. Notable elevations like Big Greenbrier Hill and Little Greenbrier Hill provide subtle relief in the otherwise low-lying territory near Lake Des Arc. The inclusion of specific infrastructure like the Keathley Pond Dam and the Lake Des Arc Dam illustrates the historical and contemporary efforts to manage the region's abundant water resources.
