Geology of the Lower Arkansas River Alluvial Valley, Pine Bluff, Arkansas to Mouth.
Abstract
The report presents the results of a geologic study of the lower portion of the Arkansas River Valley extending from the vicinity of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, to the mouth. The purposes of this study were: (a) to determine the types and distribution of soils in the alluvial portion of the valley and the conditions under which these materials were formed; (b) to delineate the configuration of the bedrock surface on which the alluvial materials were deposited; and (c) to ascertain the geologic history of the region. The relationship of geology to the proposed navigation improvements of the Arkansas River from the mouth to Catoosa, Oklahoma, is discussed.
