2014 Map of Almyra

About this map

Almyra and its agricultural surroundings in Arkansas County are defined by an extensive network of water management features designed for the region's rice-growing tradition. Numerous reservoirs, including Walworth Reservoir, Bennett Reservoir, and the dual basins of Hillman Reservoir, dot the landscape between the drainages of Mill Bayou and Little LaGrue Bayou. These artificial water bodies, coupled with Ditch Number 1, reflect the sophisticated irrigation needs of the Grand Prairie. The small settlements of Yoder and Holdridge appear as quiet clusters along the section lines, while the Almyra Municipal Airport provides a modern transportation hub for the rural area. Family and community heritage is preserved at sites like Almyra Cem, Yoder Cem, and Coffield Cem, which anchor the local genealogical record within this grid of townships and ranges.
