About this map

The agricultural community of Slovak stands as a focal point of this Prairie County survey, reflecting a distinct cultural history evidenced by the Russian Orthodox Cemetery and the Czech National Cemetery to the north. Located within the Grand Prairie region of Arkansas, the landscape is defined by its extensive water management systems, including Hartz Reservoir and Thomas Reservoir Number 2. These features, alongside Wolf Island Slash and La Grue Bayou, illustrate the intensive irrigation required for the area's rice and soybean production.

Transportation and infrastructure are characterized by a precise grid of rural roads such as Matoske Road and Old Highway 11, supporting small clusters like Siedenstricker and Tollville. The presence of the Skarda/Tollville Airport highlights the integration of aviation into the modern farming economy, while the naming of thoroughfares like Czech Cemetery Road preserves the heritage of the early settlers who transformed this prairie into a productive agricultural engine.
