About this map

Bayou Bartholomew winds through the western reaches of this landscape, its serpentine path defining the drainage patterns south of McGehee. The terrain is marked by a complex network of bayous and sloughs, including Big Bayou Slough and Black Pond Slough, which characterize the alluvial lowlands of the Mississippi Delta region. Centered on the town of Dermott, the map illustrates a grid of residential streets intersected by AR 165 Hwy S and US 65 Hwy N.

Rural life is anchored by small settlements like Masonville and Halley Junction, alongside several family and community burial grounds such as Coleman Cem and Youngs Cem. The intersection of three counties — Drew, Desha, and Chicot — occurs here, reflecting the importance of this area as a regional crossroads for agriculture and transportation. The presence of S Railroad St in McGehee further underscores the long-standing reliance on rail infrastructure to move goods through the Arkansas Delta.
