1960 Map of Wilmot SW

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Bayou Bartholomew snakes through the bottomlands of southeastern Arkansas and northern Louisiana in this 1960 survey, defining a landscape of complex waterways and brakes. The map documents a period before modern agricultural expansion altered these drainage patterns, showcasing a network of sloughs like Horseshoe Slough and Billottis Slough that feed into the main bayou. Along the higher ground near the Louisiana border, the small settlement of McGinty sits near the winding channel of Thompson Brake. Social and spiritual life in this rural corridor is marked by several country churches and family burial grounds, including St Matthew Ch, Sanctify Ch, and Harris Cem. The terrain is characterized by the divide between the cultivated flats and the swampy lowlands of Overflow Creek, which flows south across the Arkansas Louisiana state line into Morehouse Parish.
