About this map

Plum Bayou snakes across this agricultural landscape on the border of Lonoke and Pulaski counties, defining the region's drainage and settlement patterns in the late 1980s. The town of Keo serves as a local hub along the St Louis Southwestern railroad, while smaller crossroads like Wampoo and Bredlow Corner anchor the surrounding rural communities. The map reveals a high density of country churches and family landmarks, such as Springfield Ch, Macedonia Chapel, and Alexander Cem, providing essential details for genealogists and local historians.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident at the Saw Disp Plant and England Country Club, while the natural topography is shaped by various oxbows and brakes, including McNeely Brake and Morris Brake. A complex network of levees and dikes, such as those along the Cypress Pocket, reflects the ongoing efforts to manage the wetlands for farming, with several landing strips scattered throughout to support aerial agriculture or local transit.
