2011 Map of Round Pond

About this map

Saint Francis River and its intricate drainage network define this corner of St. Francis County, where the Arkansas Delta landscape is carved by numerous bayous and sloughs. Small agricultural settlements like Blackfish and Lucerne are connected by a grid of county roads, reflecting a long-standing pattern of rural habitation. The area around Hicks Station and Clarks Corner shows the intersection of modern transport corridors with older landmarks such as Dillon Ferry at Johnson Bend. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the location of Whitmore Cemetery and distinct rural communities including New Home and Cicalla. Water bodies such as Beaver Lake, Pettijohn Lake, and Nichols Lake punctuate the lowlands, while the winding paths of North Blackfish Bayou and Tenmile Bayou trace the natural hydrology of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain.
