About this map

Black River and Little River define the intricate hydrology of this northeast Arkansas landscape, where numerous waterways like Swagger Slough, Cold Water Slough, and Kincaid Slough carve through the bottomlands. The settlement of Peach Orchard serves as a local hub near the southern edge of the map, while smaller locales such as Heelstring and Brookings are situated along the river corridors.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Nelson Cemetery, Hoisey Cemetery, Allen Cemetery, and Albrite Cemetery. The geography is further marked by specific landmarks such as Hubble Bridge and named landforms like Roach Point and Cow Ford Bend. This area demonstrates a complex network of drainage and local transport, characterized by features like the Petersburg Ditch and the Little River Cutoff.
