About this map

Point Deluce Bayou meanders through the heart of this Arkansas County landscape, anchoring a network of waterways that define the region's agricultural character. This 2014 survey documents the enduring layout of rural settlements like Tichnor and Prairie Union, where local life is shaped by the complex hydrology of Cypress Bayou and various reservoirs such as Ward Reservoir. The presence of small, family-linked landmarks like Childers Cem and Conine Cem provides essential touchpoints for genealogists tracing the legacy of those who settled this lowland territory.

A system of levees, including Hesser Levee Rd and Fletcher Levee Rd, reveals the continuous effort to manage water across the plains. These structures, alongside named water bodies like Botts Lake and Lake Wisdom, illustrate the intersection of natural drainage and human engineering. The map serves as a detailed record of the road network connecting Mayview, Hyden, and Gillett, reflecting the sparse but deliberate distribution of homesteads and infrastructure in eastern Arkansas.
