2017 Map of Keo

About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Arkansas Delta is defined by the winding oxbows and bayous of Lonoke and Pulaski Counties. This 2017 survey shows the intricate drainage network of the region, featuring McNeely Brake, Morris Brake, and the meandering Clear Lake. Small communities and agricultural outposts like Keo, Wampoo, and Bredlow Corner are connected by a grid of rural roads, many bearing local family names like Walter Estes Rd and Melkovitz Rd. The presence of the Bredlow Farm Airport and Bredlow Reservoir reflects the intensive land management required for farming in the alluvial plain. For those tracing family histories in the area, the map preserves the locations of Alexander Cem and Keo Cem, situated amidst the vast fields and brakes that characterize this portion of the Arkansas River valley.
