About this map

Arkansas River bends define the landscape of Jefferson County in this survey, showcasing the sharp curves of Trulock Bend and Richland Bend. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the layout of settlements like Lake Dick, New Gascony, and Linwood, which are connected by a network of rural routes including Moscow Store Rd and Ruggeri Rd. The hydrology of the area is complex, with Riley Bayou, Kings Bayou, and Jacks Bayou threading through the lowlands south of the river.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by a high density of small burial grounds scattered across the terrain. Researchers will find numerous sites such as Saint Ruth Cem, Mulberry Grove Cem, and New Gascony Cem located near established farming communities. The southern portion of the map near Moscow and Noble Lake reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Cousart Bayou and Jacks Bayou, illustrating the relationship between the river's former channels and modern land use.
