About this map

The Arkansas River dictates the landscape of this delta region, where meandering oxbows and bayous define the boundaries of Richland. The settlement at Moscow serves as a local hub along the Missouri Pacific railroad, supported by smaller communities like Linwood and New Gascony. This area preserves a dense record of early community life through its numerous burial grounds and congregations, including New Gascony Cem, St Peters Cem, and Mulberry Grove Ch.

Ancient history is physically present near the river at the Indian Mound, while the mid-century agricultural character is reflected in features like the Lake Dick Reservoir and the Vaster Sch. The transition from the alluvial lowlands of Plum Bayou to the managed levee systems illustrates the 1960s efforts to control the river's seasonal volatility. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as Hunters Cem and Blackman Cem, scattered across the fertile plains.
