About this map

The Saint Francis River dominates this portion of the Arkansas Delta, carving a winding path through the Oak Donnick Floodway and the lowlands of Poinsett County. This modern survey illustrates a landscape defined by water management and agricultural engineering, where the river's natural meanders, such as Cahill Bend, contrast with the rigid lines of Ditch Number 1 and various flood control structures. The town of Marked Tree serves as the regional hub, situated at the confluence where the river meets the Left Hand Chute of Little River.

Tracing the heritage of the area reveals several small settlements and cemeteries, including Tulot and its associated Tulot Cem, as well as the outlier of Tyronza Junction to the southeast. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Miller Mound near Garrett Cove, pointing to long-term human habitation of these fertile bottomlands. Transportation networks are well-defined, from the Marked Tree Municipal Airport to a dense grid of local roads like Tulot Rd and Lock and Dam Rd.
