About this map

The immigrant-founded settlement of Slovak defines the cultural geography of this Prairie County landscape, reflecting the heritage of the farmers who moved to the Arkansas Grand Prairie. The town remains a focal point for researchers, particularly with the presence of the Russian Orthodox Cemetery nearby. Further north, the legacy of early 20th-century settlement is anchored by the Czech National Cemetery along Czech Cemetery Rd, a testament to the diverse roots of the local agricultural community.

The hydrological environment is dominated by expansive water management systems, notably the massive Peckerwood Lake and the Hartz Reservoir Dam which regulate flow for irrigation. Waterways like La Grue Bayou, Oak Creek, and Wolf Island Slash wind through the grid of rural roads such as Kocovrek Rd and Chlapeeka Rd. This network of reservoirs and bayous underscores the region's total reliance on water engineering for its rice and soybean production.
