About this map

Beaver Slough and Tenmile Bayou dominate this Eastern Arkansas landscape, illustrating a drainage system of complex bayous and sloughs that define the agricultural layout of St. Francis County. Small rural hubs and whistle-stops are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including the community of Round Pond, Hicks Station, and the aptly named New Home. These settlements are connected by a network of local roads like Ar 50 HWY E and Levy Rd, which navigate around significant water bodies such as Petrijohn Lake and Wiggins Lake.

The map reveals a landscape heavily influenced by regional water management, featuring the Farm Service Agency Interest of Arkansas and numerous named bayous like North Blackfish Bayou and Big Rabbit Bayou. For researchers, the presence of the Whitmore Cem near the central settlement of Whitmore provides a specific point of interest for local genealogy, while the proximity of Clarks Corner and Lucerne shows the distribution of small-scale population centers in this Delta region during the early 21st century.
