About this map

Bayou De View snakes through this section of Cross County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and agricultural tracts. The small community of Tilton serves as a local landmark along the eastern edge, while the settlements of Morton and Pumpkin Bend anchor the southern and western portions of the quadrangle. These rural outposts are connected by an extensive grid of local roads, including Race Track Rd and Sonny Ramsey Rd.

Family and community history is anchored in sites like Morton Cemetery and Pumpkin Bend Cemetery, situated near geographic features such as Pea Ridge and Sailor Harris Ridge. The map illustrates a region where water management is central to the land's utility, visible in the proximity of King Lake to the meandering bayou. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and named ridges that characterize this part of the Arkansas delta.
