2024 Map of Reydell

About this map

Reydell serves as a central hub in this riverine landscape of Jefferson County, where the low-lying terrain is defined by the complex hydrology of Bayou Meto and the Arkansas River. This modern survey details a region dominated by wetlands and specialized water features, including cypress brakes such as Hagler Cypress Brake and Big Grassy Brake. The settlement patterns follow the higher ground near these watercourses, with the small community of Langford and its associated Langford Cem situated west of the main bayou. The map illustrates a landscape of agricultural utility and drainage management, evidenced by features like the Little Bayou Meto Cutoff and numerous named lakes like English Lake and Goose Lake. Local history is preserved through several rural burial grounds, including Lemmons Cem and the Bayou Meto Cem, which anchor the small hamlets and family-named landmarks such as Buckingham Flat.
