2014 Map of Mud Lake

About this map

The Saint Francis River and its intricate network of tributaries define this landscape on the border of St. Francis and Lee counties. In this alluvial region, drainage patterns are preserved through features like Blackfish Bayou, Fifteenmile Bayou, and Willbo Slough, which weave between small agricultural settlements. The map highlights a series of river-adjacent points including Council Bar and Walling Bar, as well as historical crossings such as Shepperd Crossing and Kingsley Crossing. Local history is anchored by the Locust Grove Cem and Bethlehem Cem, while the town of Bledsoe sits at a junction of roads near the county line. The hydrology of the area is further evidenced by named bends like Horseshoe Bend and the prominent Mud Lake itself, which provides a natural focal point for the southeastern portion of the quadrangle.
