About this map

The L'Anguille River meanders through this portion of Poinsett County, defining a landscape shaped by significant water management and agricultural drainage systems. In the northeast, the Claypool Reservoir sits as a prominent feature of the local topography, while the John Kocher Lake Dam regulates local flow. The area is characterized by a dense grid of rural roads such as Swan Pond Rd and Weiner Cutoff Rd, which segment the terrain into large agricultural tracts.

Natural drainage features including Powers Slough, Raccoon Bayou, and England Creek reveal the historical hydrology of the Arkansas Delta. Smaller tributaries like Mardis Branch and Hollow Branch further detail the complex watershed. This network of named sloughs and bayous provides essential data for researchers tracing family land tracts or studying the evolution of water control in this fertile river basin.
