About this map

The Mississippi River and White River converge in this low-lying riverine landscape, where the alluvial plain is defined by backwaters, bayous, and large dry lakebeds. The settlement of Snow Lake sits near the levee systems that protect this flood-prone delta region, including the notable Laconia Circle Levee. These engineering works highlight the ongoing battle to manage the massive water volumes of the Mississippi, which creates features like the Henrico Bar and the deep Graddy Blue Hole.

Smaller settlements such as Stimson and Mozart are linked by a network of local roads like Lake Rd and Mozart Loop. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Thompsons Cemetery and Henrico Cemetery provides specific points of interest for family research. The landscape is dotted with numerous water bodies, from Big Round Lake and Alligator Lake to the oxbow-like Elbow Lakes, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Arkansas-Mississippi borderlands.
