About this map

The low-lying wetlands of eastern Monroe and Phillips counties dominate this landscape, defined by an intricate network of slashes and creeks. Big Cypress Cr and Little Cypress Creek wind through the territory, punctuated by named drainage areas like Persimmon Slash, Walker Cypress Slash, and Jacobs Slash. These features indicate the seasonally wet nature of the Delta terrain, where land use is dictated by the subtle changes in elevation across the floodplain.

Small agricultural settlements and junctions such as Pine City, B B Junction, and Postelle serve as local anchors connected by a grid of rural roads. Genealogists will find several burial sites including Union Cem, Postelle Cem, and Saint Marks Cem located near the county line. The presence of Palmer and Ragtown alongside routes like State Hwy 146 shows the enduring pattern of rural Arkansas habitations in a region shaped by the water of the Cypress Swamp and its tributaries.
