About this map

The Saint Francis River winds through the heart of this Arkansas delta landscape, forming a complex network of meanders and bars. The river's influence is evident in the numerous named river features such as Fortune Bar, Lee Bar, and Wheeler Bar, which shift alongside seasonal floodwaters. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Oak Donnick Floodway, a major hydrological feature designed for water management in this low-lying region. Smaller water bodies like Sunk Timber Lake and several sloughs, including Wolf Slough and Big Beaver Slough, further define the wetland character of the area.

Small settlements and rural hubs including Monterey, Stewart, and Twist are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by a grid of county roads such as Co RD 402 and Co RD 69. The map also captures the industrial footprint of the Anderson Tully company lands in the northwest corner. This survey documents the intersection of agricultural drainage efforts and the natural riparian environment along the border of Poinsett and Cross counties.
