About this map

Village Creek and its complex network of sloughs define the landscape of this Lawrence County region, where the Missouri Pacific railroad anchors the local infrastructure. The settlement of Alicia sits at a critical junction near the county line, while the surrounding plains are dotted with family and community landmarks such as Clover Bend and Hopewell Church. This 1980 edition reveals a geography heavily shaped by drainage and agriculture, evidenced by features like Marrow Bone Slough and White Oak Slough.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds recorded here, including Covington Cemetery, Miller Cemetery, and Davenport Cemetery. These sites, along with the Bennett Landing Strip, provide specific points of reference for tracing family roots and local development in the Arkansas Delta. The transition from Lawrence to Jackson County is clearly delineated, showing how these political boundaries intersect with the natural flow of Running Water Creek.
