About this map

The Arkansas River carves a complex course through this portion of Jefferson County, defining the landscape between the northeastern edge of Pine Bluff and the settlement of Rob Roy. Significant hydrological features like the Boyd Point Cutoff and Winfrey Reach reveal the active management and natural shifting of the river channel, which is also characterized by the broad Sainte Marie Bend and Rob Roy Shoal. The map captures a mix of industrial river access and agricultural land, with various bayous such as Black Bayou and Flat Bayou draining the surrounding bottoms.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through numerous rural burial sites, including Saint Marys Cem, Washington Cem, and Cottonwood Cem. Infrastructure is anchored by the Jefferson County Free Bridge and the Rob Roy Bridge, which facilitate movement across the water. Smaller named locales like Ellison, Haywood, and Wilkins are connected by a network of rural routes, including St Mary Catholic Church Rd and Cottonwood Baptist Church Rd.
