2014 Map of Alicia

About this map

Clover Bend and the surrounding agricultural lowlands of Lawrence County define this landscape, where the meandering course of Big Running Water Cr meets an extensive network of drainage ditches and sloughs. This territory is characterized by its rural settlement pattern, with small communities like Hopewell, Calvin, and Lindsey connected by a grid of county roads and the diagonal corridor of Us-67. The town of Alicia anchors the southern portion of the map at the junction of Ar-230, showing a concentrated residential core. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several family and community burial grounds, including Clover Bend Cem, Covington Cem, and Miller Cem. The intricate hydrology, featuring Village Creek and Marrow Bone Slough, illustrates the persistent efforts to manage the wetlands of the Black River basin for cultivation.
