About this map

Tyronza and Gilmore sit within a landscape defined by the intersection of three Arkansas counties: Poinsett, Mississippi, and Crittenden. The region's agricultural and drainage history is evident in the network of waterways like Lamb Bayou, Sam Bayou, and the Marlin Swamp, alongside engineered features such as the Gilmore Ditch Dump Rd. These bayous and ditches frame the small communities that emerged along the transportation corridors, including Deckerville, Beasley, and Dimple.

Local heritage is anchored by several burial grounds, including Mount Zion Cem and New Bethel Cem, which sit near the northern boundary of the survey. To the south, the community of Turrell borders Lake David and Cypress Bayou, illustrating how the delta terrain influenced the placement of roads like Old HWY 63. The transition from swampy lowlands to cultivated fields is mapped with precision, showing the grid-like system of rural routes such as Steel Bridge Rd and Tacker Rd that link these isolated settlements.
