2014 Map of Amagon

About this map

The Cache River meanders through this agricultural section of the Arkansas Delta, defining the western edge of a landscape crisscrossed by county roads and drainage systems like Threemile Creek and Mink Slough. Several small communities and named junctions populate the grid, including Amagon, Algoa, and Balch, reflecting the rural settlement patterns of Jackson County. This 2014 survey serves as a vital tool for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the acreage. Researchers can find the Johnson Cem, Martin Cem, Jackson Cem, Carter Cem, and the uniquely named 'Bill' Ford Cem. The transition from the river bottomlands to the managed fields is further evidenced by landmarks such as Griddle Lake and Brewer Lake, while the eastern border is marked by the Jackson Co Poinsett Co line.
