About this map

The town of Ulm serves as the focal point of this Prairie County agricultural landscape, situated at the intersection of a rail line and local thoroughfares like Main St and Front street. The surrounding terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management network, where numerous private impoundments such as Baker Brothers Reservoir, Fridenburg Reservoir, and Trotters Reservoir dot the plains. These man-made features interact with natural drainages like La Grue Bayou and Lost Island Bayou, illustrating the intensive irrigation required for the region's rice and soybean production.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks scattered across the township lines, including Zion Cem near the town center and Saint Paul Cem to the northeast. Beyond the central hub, smaller settlements like Lookout appear near the border of Arkansas County. The map provides a detailed view of the rural road system, from the primary State Hwy 366 to numerous named family routes such as Wilkes Hosto Rd and Doepel Farm Rd, which delineate the historic property divisions of the Grand Prairie region.
