About this map

The Arkansas River meanders through this portion of Jefferson County, defining a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and engineered drainage. Major bends in the river such as Yell Bend and Sainte Marie Bend contrast with the Boyd Point Cutoff, illustrating the dynamic nature of the waterway. The area's agricultural and rural character is anchored by small settlements like Rob Roy, Haywood, and Ellison.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous community landmarks, including Saint Lukes Cem, Washington Cem, and Rice Cem. Transport across the river is facilitated by the Jefferson County Free Bridge and the Rob Roy Bridge, while the complex network of drainage features like the Waterloo Drainage Ditch and Black Bayou Lateral reveals the extensive efforts to manage the low-lying terrain for cultivation. This survey provides a clear view of the road network, from named routes like Co Farm Rd to the levee-top Frenchtown-Auburn Levee Rd.
