On August 12, 2001 the partial skull of an unidentified male was
located in a wooded area along the Saint Francis River near the
old siphons on Lock and Dam Road in Poinsett County, Arkansas.
DNA testing confirmed that the skull belonged to a male.
Anthropological assessments determined that the male was African
American between the ages of 16-19 years old.
A slightly healed fracture of the nose was also seen but it is
unknown when the injury could have occurred. The mandible was
not recovered and all upper teeth were broken off so dental
characteristics are unknown. It is believed that the male had
been deceased at least one year prior to being found. The image
above is a composite created by a NCMEC Forensic Artist
depicting what the male may have looked like in life. Features,
such as the ears and hairstyle are the artist’s estimations and
should not be used as significant markers for identification.

HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marked_Tree_Lock_and_Siphons
The Marked Tree Lock and Siphons are a flood control facility on
the St. Francis River in Poinsett County, Arkansas. These
facilities are located about 9 miles (14 km) north of Marked
Tree. Built in 1926, the lock is located on a now disused and
partially filled artificial channel west of the main river. It
has a concrete trough about 130 feet (40 m) long and 30 feet
(9.1 m) high, with a small brick control house from which four
gates are operated to regulate water flow through the lock. The
lock gates have been removed and that area filled in and topped
by a roadway. The siphons are located on a levee that impounds
the main river channel several hundred feet upstream from the
lock, and consist of a series large metal tubes, whose ends are
mounted in submerged concrete structures above and below the
levee. The siphons were built in 1939 to solve the problem of
water flow regulation in the wake of repeated major flooding
events on the river, and are described by the United States Army
Corps of Engineers as unique in the nation for their scope and
efficiency.
The lock and siphons were listed on the National Register of
Historic Places in 1988.
