The area comprises three tracts of land, namely, the Thompson, Oliver and Martin tracts. The Oliver tract is the southernmost tract and is bounded on the south by Ark. Hwy. 14 and on the north by a county road west of Weiner. The Thompson tract is immediately north of the Oliver tract, bounded on the north by Ark. Hwy. 214. The Martin tract is the northernmost of the three tracts and lies about 1/2 mile north of the Thompson tract and extends to a county road that ends on the eastern border.
The area can best be reached by county roads west out of Weiner on Ark. Hwy. 49 or off Ark. Hwy. 14 or 214.
The Thompson and Oliver tracts were developed specifically as wintering waterfowl areas. Fall squirrel hunting is also a heavily used resource. The squirrel population tends to cycle with acorn abuncance in the bottomland hardwoods of the area. The area supports a healthy deer population. Hunting has been limited to archery in recent years due to the small size of the area. Trophy-class bucks are taken on and around Bayou DeView area every hunting season.
