About this map

The St Francis River and the Burlington Northern railroad intersect at Marked Tree, the primary hub of this Delta landscape in Poinsett County. This survey reflects a region defined by extensive drainage and flood control engineering, notably the Oak Donnick Floodway and the Bay St Francis. These systems manage the water levels of the St Francis Sunken Lands State Wildlife Management Area, a unique terrain of wetlands and bottomlands.

Smaller rural communities and named junctions like Tulot, Payneway, and Northern Ohio are scattered across the agricultural grid. Local history is anchored by several spiritual and educational landmarks, including Faith Ch, Rising Sun Ch, and the Delta Voc Tech Sch. The map also captures the path of the Chute of Left Hand as it meanders toward Tyronza Jct, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Arkansas lowlands.
