2017 Map of White Hall

About this map

Arkansas River navigation and the floodplain landscape dominate this Jefferson County survey, tracing the winding water through Pastoria Bend and the Hensley Bar Cutoff. This area north of Pine Bluff showcases a transition from the urban density of White Hall and residential developments like Oakland Heights and Henslee Heights to the vast wetlands and bayous of the river valley. The map is particularly useful for local historians, identifying numerous small family and community burial grounds such as Cheek Cem, McFadden Cem, and Musgrove Cem scattered across the rural acreage. Notable hydrological features including Caney Bayou, Smiths Bayou, and Eastman Bayou define the drainage patterns of the region, while the Hickory Ridge Airport and a complex network of numbered roads like Ave 6269 illustrate the modern transportation infrastructure overlaying the older river-based economy.
