2020 Map of Marais Saline

About this map

Marais Saline characterizes this corner of Southeast Arkansas, where the winding Saline R creates a complex network of sloughs, islands, and backwaters. The terrain is defined by its low-lying wetlands, featuring named features like Horton Island and the distinctive bend known as Round Turn. In the northeastern portion of the map, Stillions sits near the expansive waters of Lake Georgia-Pacific, which dominates the landscape along with numerous drainage systems including Miller Br and Carroll Slough. This environment has historically dictated the settlement patterns of Bradley and Ashley Counties, as seen in the scattered rural road networks like Arkadelphia Cemetery Rd. Local history and genealogy interests are centered around Arkadelphia Cem and the small residential pockets that persist along the ridges, such as Gravel Ridge, providing a clear view of the area's geography and drainage before it transitions into the larger river systems of the region.
