About this map

Moscow and the adjacent community of Linwood anchor this survey of the Arkansas riverfront in Jefferson County. The landscape is defined by the shifting course of the Arkansas River, which carves dramatic features such as Trulock Bend and Richland Bend across the territory. A high concentration of burial grounds, including New Gascony Cemetery, Saint Peters Cemetery, and Hunters Cemetery, suggests a long-settled rural history and provides significant data points for genealogists tracing families in this river-bottom region.

Transport and water management are evident through the network of bayous and drainage, notably Jacks Bayou and Kings Bayou. The map captures a mix of agricultural utility and river navigation history at Brunson Crossing. Settlements like New Gascony and Noble Lake are linked by a grid of rural roads, such as Knotts Island Rd and Morgan Rd, illustrating the development patterns of these alluvial plains in the early 21st century.
