The Arkansas River carves a complex, winding course through this delta landscape, defining the boundary between Arkansas and Desha counties. The river's historical shifts have left behind a dense network of oxbows and backwaters, including Minnie Anderson Old River and Saw Mill Bend Cutoff. In the southern portion of the sheet, the grid of Watson provides a structured contrast to the serpentine waterways of Sutton Bayou and Rube Bayou. This environment is shaped by the presence of a significant Levee system designed to manage the seasonal fluctuations of the river system.
