About this map

Bayou Bartholomew meanders through the southeast corner of this survey, defining a landscape shaped by the intricate hydrology of the Arkansas-Louisiana border. The settlement of McGinty sits near the state line in Morehouse Parish, marking a transition from the dense wetlands of the east to the slightly higher ground of the west. This territory is defined by an extensive network of sloughs and brakes, including Thompson Brake and Glover Brake, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns common to this section of the Mississippi Delta region. The presence of several family or community burial grounds, such as Grant Cem, Bethel Cem, and Harris Cem, indicates a legacy of rural settlement tied closely to the land and its waterways. Extensive forest and wetland areas are punctuated by small creek systems like Hurricane Cr and Overflow Cr, while a network of named trails, including Barthol Trl and Oscar Franklin Trl, provide access through the dense bottomlands.
