About this map

The Arkansas River winds through this Jefferson County landscape, shaping the agriculture and settlement patterns of the region. The river's influence is evident in the prominent meanders of Trulock Bend and Richland Bend, as well as the numerous oxbows and bayous like Noble Lake and Old Channel Plum Bayou that define the low-lying terrain. Historically significant small communities and farm clusters such as Linwood, Moscow, and New Gascony are scattered across the plains, often associated with a density of family and community burial grounds. Genealogy researchers will find an exceptional concentration of cemeteries including Saint Peters Cem, Saint James Cem, Blackman Cem, and New Hope Cem. The presence of Lake Dick in the north and the expansive drainage network of Kings Bayou and Jacks Bayou further illustrate the water-dependent nature of this Delta environment, where roads like Morgan Rd and Atkins Lake Rd navigate the spaces between the wetlands.
