About this map

Blackfish Bayou and its winding tributaries dominate this 1980s landscape of eastern Arkansas, where the alluvial plain of the Delta is crisscrossed by drainage ditches and bayous. The map captures the agricultural and rural character of the border between Crittenden and St. Francis counties. Small communities like Jeanette and Shearerville are central to the area, while the historical Old Military Road cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, providing a tangible link to 19th-century transit routes.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the quadrangle, with numerous small burial grounds and rural congregations such as Kinsey Cem, Vanzant Cem, and Wallace Chapel. The industrial and transport infrastructure of the era is represented by the Missouri Pacific railroad in the northeast corner and a local Fish Hatchery near New Shady Grove. Large oxbow features, including Blackfish Lake and Holden Lake, illustrate the shifting hydrography of the region.
