2020 Map of Tilton

About this map

Bayou De View snakes through the center of this landscape, defining the low-lying wetlands and agricultural fields at the convergence of Jackson, Woodruff, and Cross Counties. The settlement pattern is characterized by small, dispersed communities linked by a grid of county roads, with Pumpkin Bend and Pea Ridge positioned along the western reaches of the bayou. To the south, the community of Morton sits near the Morton Cem, while Tilton serves as a focal point in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Local genealogy is well-preserved through sites like the Pumpkin Bend Cem, and the terrain is marked by subtle rises such as Sailor Harris Ridge. The map reveals a highly managed hydrological landscape, where King Lake and the bayou drainage system dictate the placement of roads and homesteads.
