About this map

Bayou Des Arc and its complex network of tributaries, including Cypress Bayou and Webb Branch, dominate this landscape south of Griffithville. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and hydraulic management, evidenced by Jenkins Lake Dam and Stewarts Reservoir. This portion of White County retains a rural settlement pattern centered on small communities like Walker, Dogwood, and Vinity Corner.

Local genealogy is anchored by well-preserved burial grounds such as Walker Cemetery, Dogwood Cemetery, and Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, which serve as vital landmarks for tracing early resident families. The road network, featuring names like Fletcher Ellis Rd and Britton Ford Rd, suggests a long history of agricultural connectivity through the bayou country. The presence of Carsons Slough and White Creek further illustrates the hydrological complexity of this Arkansas river valley region during the early twenty-first century.
