Hi Folks: I am listing the towns and communities in Desha County that I know of. Before casting stones, or throwing rocks as we would say in Watson, at me, remember that I am not the smartest one on the list. I would barely qualify for that if I were alone on it. Please send the name and location of towns and communities that I have omitted and I will add them to the list. Arkansas City: Eastern part of the county near the Mississippi River Back Gate: Between Dumas and Watson. The settlement near Pendleton Bridge Dumas: Northwest part of Desha County Halley: Extreme south-central part of the county Kelso: South of Watson McGhee: South of Dumas Mitchellville: Just north of Dumas Pendleton: Now Pendleton Bridge but was Pendleton Ferry for many years Pickens: Just south of Dumas Reed: Just east of Tillar which is in Drew County Rohwer: South of Kelso Watson: Due east of Dumas Yancopin: Near Watson on the Arkansas River Bill Covey Creator of Ol' Tubby Joe Stottlemeyer Author of: Watson Is Where It Wuz http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Station/3265/Welcome.html
