Rohwer stands as a significant historical site in this Desha County landscape, notably marked by the Rohwer Relocation Center Cemetery. This area reflects the agrarian and industrial development of the Arkansas Delta, where the drainage of the land is managed through features like Canal Number 81 and the winding course of Cypress Creek. The settlement patterns are anchored by small communities such as Kelso and Duce, connected by an extensive grid of rural roads and lanes named for local families. This 2011 survey documents the proximity of several burial grounds, including the Rolling Water Cemetery, Kelso Cemetery, and Memorial Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this region of eastern Arkansas.
