About this map

Wabaseka Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Indian Bayou and Sleep Bayou, define the drainage patterns of this Jefferson County landscape. The area is characterized by an extensive network of irrigation laterals and drainage ditches, such as Lateral Number 2 and Lateral Number 7, which support the agricultural economy of the Arkansas Delta. The town of Sherrill sits near the southern bend of the bayou, while Tucker and Ferda mark important points to the north.

Genealogists and local historians will find several established burial grounds, including the Hendricks Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, and Fields Cemetery. The central portion of the map is notable for the Tucker Prison Farm, a significant institutional landmark. Aviation history is also represented by the Sherrill Flying Service Airport and the Shudy Landing Strip, reflecting the role of aerial application in local farming operations.
