About this map

The low-lying Delta landscape of Phillips County is defined here by an intricate network of drainage and natural waterways. Lambrook serves as the primary settlement center, supported by local institutions like Lambrook Ch and Brooks Chapel. The terrain is dominated by the management of water, evidenced by the North Lambrook Ditch and South Lambrook Ditch which cut across the flat agricultural lands to channel runoff away from the fields and toward the bayous.

Moving south, the map reveals the smaller communities of Gauzey, Ratio, and Countiss situated near the winding course of Cypress Bayou and Yellow Bank Bayou. These settlements are interspersed with remnants of the natural bottomland environment, including Flag Lake, Allen Lake, and various sloughs like Jessie Slough. This 1982 provisional survey captures the intersection of industrial-scale drainage projects and traditional rural Arkansas life, recording the location of several rural churches such as the Church of the Living God.
