2020 Map of Ulm

About this map

Ulm serves as the central hub for this agricultural landscape, where the flatlands of Prairie and Arkansas Counties are intricately managed for water resources. The settlement, defined by streets like Commerce and Front, sits at a critical junction of local transport and drainage. The map reveals an extensive system of man-made irrigation, with large-scale basins such as Trotters Reservoir, Fridenburg Reservoir, and the Layne Arkansas Reservoir dominating the terrain. These features, alongside natural waterways like La Grue Bayou and Little LaGrue Bayou, underscore the region's historical reliance on sophisticated water management for its prairie-based economy. Scattered sites of local heritage, such as Zion Cem and Saint Paul Cem near the Monroe County line, provide grounding points for genealogical research, while the small settlement of Lookout marks the eastern edge of this rural survey.
