About this map

Cache River and its meandering tributaries dominate the western edge of this Jackson County landscape, where the flat alluvial plains of northeastern Arkansas are carved into a geometric grid of rural roads. The town of Amagon sits as a central hub at a key intersection, surrounded by a network of smaller named settlements including Pennington, Balch, and Algoa. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape deeply connected to its agricultural and water-management history, evidenced by the numerous sloughs and creeks such as Mink Slough and Snake Slough that drain the eastern acreage.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks across the quadrangle. A high density of rural burial grounds, including Carter Cemetery, 'Bill' Ford Cemetery, and Johnson Cemetery, are scattered among the farmstead roads. The presence of Stringers Mill near the southwestern corner provides a specific reference point for local industry and the historical processing of regional harvests in this river-adjacent territory.
