2017 Map of Wittsburg

About this map

Wittsburg and Levesque anchor this survey of the Arkansas Delta, where the landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Saint Francis River and the Saint Francis Floodway. The transition from the elevated ridge land near Lake Dunn and Lake Austell to the low-lying river bottoms creates a terrain marked by numerous sloughs and lakes, including Big Bear Lake and Horseshoe Lake. The river's winding path is evidenced by distinctive features like Wittsburg Island, Johnson Bend, and Short Bend, illustrating the historical movement of the water across the floodplain. Local history is grounded in the presence of Saint Marks Cem and Walters Cem, while the small settlement of Kinton sits near the crossing into St. Francis County. This map provides a detailed view of the modern road network, from local county routes to the Clark Corner Cutoff, alongside the natural drainage patterns of Copperas Cr and Cane Cr.
