About this map

Black River meanders through the western corridor of this Arkansas landscape, creating a series of dramatic oxbows and bends such as Inman Bend and Gumthicket Bend. This river system dictates the local geography, leaving behind water bodies like Horseshoe Lake and Winebaugh Lake while requiring extensive drainage infrastructure including the Little Running Water Ditch and Cypress Lateral to manage the low-lying terrain.

Settlement patterns concentrate at the northern and southern extremes, where Pocahontas and Walnut Ridge serve as primary anchors. The map reveals a robust educational and transportation network, featuring Black River Technical College near the Pocahontas Municipal Airport, and Williams Baptist College to the south. Numerous rural cemeteries, including Troy Cem and Mount Zion Cem, are scattered throughout the agricultural tracts, providing essential markers for genealogical research in these Delta-fringe communities.
