Camp Bayou Matoe?

Does anyone know where it was?

Its where my GGGF was listed severely wounded after he and part of his battery volunteered to fight as infantry during battle of Helena.

There was a skirmish that the Federals called Bayou Meto (Confederates called it Reed's Bridge) on August 27, 1863 in what is now Jacksonville Arkansas which is just outside of Little Rock. A portion of the battlefield is preserved as a historical park administered by the town. Bayou Meto is very big though and apparently there were a handful of skirmishes on it.

Yes haven't found anything about the camp online, and apparently the Bayou Matoe river is 150 miles long......
