About this map

Saint Francis Bay and its complex network of sloughs and floodway infrastructure dominate this portion of the Arkansas Delta in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the heavy engineering of the St Francis Levee Rd and the broad, slow-moving waters of Copeland Slough, Magot Slough, and Wolf Slough. These waterways dictate the placement of small rural communities and family homesteads that have persisted since the late 19th century.

Small agricultural settlements like Princedale and Pleasant Hill are connected by a grid of county roads, such as Doc Smith Rd and Sides Rd, which serve the local farming economy. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites including Akins Cemetery and Harefarm Cemetery. Near the southern boundary, the community of Levesque sits near water features like Robinson Lake and the Hunter Rest Club Lake, illustrating the area's dual nature as both a productive agricultural zone and a site for recreational land use.
