About this map

The Black River snakes through a complex wetland landscape of oxbows and bottomlands in this northeastern Arkansas survey. The river's winding course is marked by numerous distinct features such as Red Fox Bend, Rainey Bend, and Stalling Bend, alongside the Selser-Cut-off. This area is characterized by significant brakes and bays, including Rainey Brake and Shirey Bay, which illustrate the dynamic hydrology of the region where the Strawberry River also enters the frame.

Settlement is concentrated on higher ground around Lynn and the namesake community of Strangers Home. For genealogists and local historians, several family and community burial sites are preserved here, including Strangers Home Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Broom Cem. The presence of roads like Partee Ferry Loop and Whitlow Ferry Rd points to the area's historical reliance on river crossings for regional transport.
