2017 Map of Almyra

About this map

Almyra serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Arkansas County, where the geometric precision of modern land management meets the winding paths of Mill Bayou and Little LaGrue Bayou. The area is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including Hillman Reservoir, Voss Reservoir, and Tindall Lake, which support the local rice and grain farming economy. Evidence of earlier settlement patterns is preserved in small communities like Yoder and Holdridge, alongside rural burial grounds such as Yoder Cem and Coffield Cem. The presence of the Almyra Municipal Airport and the straightened course of Ditch Number 1 reflect the 21st-century infrastructure required to manage this productive lowland region. This documentation by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a clear view of the intersection between historic family-named locations and large-scale water control systems.
