About this map

Bayou Bartholomew meanders through this portion of Ashley County, its intricate oxbows and bends defining a landscape deeply tied to the alluvial drainage of southeastern Arkansas. The settlement of Snyder sits at the western edge of the quadrangle, while the rail-aligned hamlets of Thebes, Donbey, and Lloyd follow the corridor of Hwy-160 and the railroad. This network of small stations and spurs, including Owens Spur, illustrates the historic importance of regional transport for the surrounding timber and agricultural lands.

Hydrological features dominate the terrain, from the winding path of Caney Creek to the larger channels of Little Bayou and Dry Bayou. The presence of Lake Grampus Dam and Lake Lingo suggests managed water resources in an area otherwise characterized by natural wetlands like Overflow Creek and Bearhouse Creek. The map provides a clear record of the rural road network, with numbered routes such as Ashley Road 101 connecting these scattered communities and family landmarks.
