About this map

The Saint Francis River and its intricate network of bayous define this landscape in eastern Arkansas, where the alluvial plain is etched by ancient watercourses and modern drainage patterns. Settlements like Round Pond, Blackfish, and Hicks Station serve as anchors within a region dominated by agricultural fields and swampy lowlands. The presence of Whitmore Cem near the central drainage features provides a vital point of reference for genealogists tracing local families in St. Francis County.

Hydrological features including Pettijohn Lake, Beaver Lake, and Wiggins Lake are interconnected by a web of named tributaries such as Tenmile Bayou and Spencer Bayou. This area, organized under the Public Land Survey System across several townships, reveals a transition from the river bends at Johnson Bend to the structured road grid of the Clarks Corner and Cicalla vicinity, illustrating how the delta's geography has dictated both settlement locations and transportation routes.
