2014 Map of Aberdeen

About this map

The White River carves a dramatic, winding course across the boundary of Monroe and Arkansas counties, defining the character of this riverine landscape. The river creates massive oxbows and landforms like Hurricane Bend and Coahoma Point, while numerous backwater lakes such as Big Eagle Lake and Goose Lakes fill the floodplains. Settlement is scattered, anchored by the community of Aberdeen in the north and Casscoe to the south. Historically significant landmarks include Preston Ferry, which provided river crossing near Preston Bluff. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, showing a high density of rural burial grounds including Roc Roe Cem, Hunters Chapel Cem, and Mt Pisgah Cem. Small rural roads and lanes, many named for local families like McDonald Ln and Hogan-Dickson Ln, connect these dispersed settlements through the lowlands.
