About this map

The Saint Francis River snakes through the bottomlands of the Arkansas delta, defining the shared boundaries of Cross, Poinsett, and Crittenden counties. This 2024 landscape is characterized by its complex hydrology, where the river's winding course is accompanied by numerous sandbars like Fortune Bar, Lee Bar, and Turnbull Bar. The surrounding terrain is a network of drainage and overflow channels, including the Oak Donnick Floodway and Steep Gut Bayou, reflecting the region's managed agricultural water systems.

Small settlements such as Monterey and Twist anchor the rural infrastructure, connected by a grid of county roads. The southern portion of the map features the historic location of Twist Ferry, while the northern section near the Poinsett County line includes the locales of Anderson and Tully. Ecological features like Sunk Timber Lake and the various sloughs, such as Wolf Slough and Beaver Slough, provide insight into the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped settlement in this corner of Arkansas.
