About this map

The Saline River and Ouachita River converge amidst a vast network of wetlands and seasonal waterways in this southeastern Arkansas landscape. The terrain is defined by low-lying bottomlands, including named features like Horton Island and Round Turn, which sit alongside the expansive Lake Georgia-Pacific. This 2017 survey details the complex hydrography where Miller Br, Carroll Slough, and Big Brushy Cr cross county lines between Bradley, Ashley, and Union counties.

Human settlement is concentrated toward the east in West Crossett, while more isolated locales like Stillions and the Marais Saline landing area highlight the historic importance of river access. Cultural landmarks such as the Arkadelphia Cem and Locke School House Rd provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracking family roots in these river-adjacent communities. The map also records numerous local transit routes, including Marie Saline Rd and Arkadelphia Cemetery Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and ridges above the floodplain.
