About this map

Black River meanders along the western edge of this 2011 survey, defining a landscape shaped by dynamic river bends such as Inman Bend, Luteman Bend, and Gumthicket Bend. The region is a patchwork of agricultural drainage systems, where the Cypress Lateral and Overcup Lateral channel water through the lowlands east of the river. Small settlements and rural junctions like Shannon, Manson, and Lesterville are linked by a grid of county roads, showing the persistent 20th-century settlement pattern of the Arkansas Delta.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Watkins Cemetery, Jones Cemetery, and Snow Cemetery. The southern portion of the map transition into an institutional landscape with College City and the proximity of the Walnut Ridge Regional Airport. Historically significant river access points like Hoover Landing reflect the era when these waterways were the primary conduits for local commerce and transport.
