About this map

Pine Bluff and its surrounding floodplains are defined by the winding course of the Arkansas River and an intricate network of wetlands, including Bayou Bartholomew and Deep Bayou. This 2011 survey captures the southeastern expansion of the city toward Grider Field and the smaller settlements of Fairfield, Glenlake, and Ladd. The landscape is heavily influenced by flood control infrastructure, notably the Frenchtown-Auburn Levy and its associated access road, which protects the low-lying Alexander Flat and Boyd Point regions.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous family and community landmarks, including the Taylor Cemetery, Atkins Cemetery, and Smith Chapel Cemetery. The map detail shows the transition from the urban grid of Pine Bluff, featuring the Pine Bluff Post Office, to the rural agricultural lands and timbered bayous like Little Cypress Bayou and Imbeau Bayou that have long shaped the economic and geographic identity of Jefferson County.
