About this map

Agricultural lands and low-lying wetlands dominate the landscape where Lincoln and Drew Counties meet. Small rural settlements like Tyro and Florence serve as anchors for the local community, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways including Flat Cr and Prairie Cr. The presence of several family and community burial grounds, such as Tyro Cem and Green Mount Cem, provides significant points of interest for genealogists tracking early resident locations in this part of Southeast Arkansas.

The natural geography is particularly diverse, featuring the open Touchstone Prairie and numerous brakes and branches like Campbell Brake and Johnny Br. These water features, along with the Matthews Lake Dam, illustrate the local management of the delta's drainage system. The road network, including names like Judge Henry Smith Rd and Madison Rd, suggests long-established property lines and family landholdings that have persisted through generations of Arkansas farming history.
