About this map

Bayou Bartholomew meanders dramatically through the center of this map, defining the landscape of Southeast Arkansas at the junction of Drew, Desha, and Chicot counties. The city of Dermott serves as a primary hub in the south, characterized by its dense grid of streets like E Gaines St and W Speedway St. To the north, the outskirts of McGehee are visible, connected to the surrounding countryside via the Short Rail Rd and State Hwy 208.

The survey highlights several small communities and rural intersections, including Masonville and Halley Junction. For those researching local families, the map identifies numerous burial sites, from the Strickland Memorial Lawn Cem to the Masonville Community Cem. The wetland character of the delta is preserved in named features such as Tupelo Brake, Northern Brake, and Big Bayou Slough, which occupy the low-lying areas between the winding bayou and established farm roads.
