About this map

White River National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern landscape of this Arkansas County survey, showcasing a complex wetland ecosystem defined by the meandering La Grue Bayou and Essex Bayou. This 1960s environment is characterized by dense ridges such as Briar Ridge and Hickory Ridge, which stand as higher ground amidst a labyrinth of oxbow lakes including Eagle Nest Lake, Moon Lakes, and Wolf Lake.

Evidence of historical human activity is scattered across the bottomlands, from the Indian Mound near the refuge boundary to small settlements like Deluce and Weber. The geography reveals a land dictated by water, where isolated points like Sheppard Point and Mays Bluff provide clear landmarks. Local family or community landmarks, such as Tipsy Cem and La Grue Springs, offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the rural development of the Point De Luce area before late-century changes.
