About this map

Bakers Bayou and Bayou Meto dominate this Lonoke County landscape, creating a network of waterways that define the agricultural patterns around Pettus. The terrain is marked by traditional land divisions and a series of rural cemeteries that serve as vital touchpoints for local genealogy, including Green Olive Cem in the northwest and Sullivan Cem near the center of the quadrangle.

The presence of Brushy Slough and Caney Creek suggests a low-lying alluvial environment where drainage and irrigation are central to the area's development. Local transit is supported by a grid of named rural routes such as Oldham Rd and Bob Long Rd, connecting isolated farmsteads to the settlement at Pettus. The map preserves the specific locations of historic burial sites like Weedon Cem, which are often the only remaining physical markers of early family settlements in this part of Arkansas.
