About this map

The winding course of Bayou Bartholomew anchors this landscape along the state line where Arkansas meets Louisiana. The settlement of Wilmot is positioned near the prominent curve of Lake Enterprise, while Parkdale sits to the north. This survey documents a rural community defined by its spiritual and educational centers, including Sweet Home Ch, Gospel Temple, and Savage High Sch.

Evidence of the region's ancient and modern history is visible through the Indian Mound near Walkers Slough and the Overflow National Wildlife Refuge in the west. Genealogists can trace family histories through several burial sites such as Smith Cem and Wonner Grove Cem. The presence of a Fish Hatchery and several gaging stations along the bayous underscores the importance of water management in this low-lying delta region.
