About this map

The Saint Francis River and Tyronza River define the alluvial landscape of this region along the border of Poinsett and Crittenden counties. This 2017 survey shows a countryside dominated by water management and drainage features, including the Tyronza River Cutoff, Sand Slough, and Mack Bayou. Smaller settlements and local communities such as Joyland, Yellow Banks, and Galilee are connected by a grid of county roads that navigate the complex curves of the rivers.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including the Mount Olive Cem, East Tyronza Cem, and King Solomon Cem. Landmarks like Cummins Bar and Cow Island reflect the shifting nature of the local waterways, while Luss Lake provides a stationary contrast to the flowing river networks. The map documents the enduring agricultural character of the Arkansas Delta, where local life remains closely tied to the rivers and bayous.
