About this map

Big Cypress Creek and its complex network of slashes and branches dominate this Delta landscape at the Monroe and Phillips county line. The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a straight east-west line through the region, connecting the small trackside communities of Palmer, Postelle, and BB Junction. The presence of an old railroad grade running north from Pine City suggests a shift in the local timber or agricultural transport network during the mid-20th century.

Rural life is anchored by scattered landmarks like Union Ch and St Marks Ch, each with its associated cemetery. The low-lying terrain is defined by drainage features such as Persimmon Slash and Walker Cypress, which weave between agricultural plots and a Fish Farm. These intricate water patterns, combined with small settlements like Ragtown and Neicy, reflect the persistent human imprint on this often-flooded Arkansas bottomland.
