The St Francis Sunk Lands dominate this Arkansas landscape, where the St Francis River and its intricate distributaries defined the development of Poinsett County and its neighbors. By the early 1940s, a complex system of ditches and levees attempted to manage the wetlands, yet much of the area remained defined by island-like landforms such as Coon Island and Middle Island. The settlement at Marked Tree sits at the confluence of the river and the St Louis - San Francisco Ry, serving as a critical hub for the local timber and agricultural economy.
