2011 Map of Armorel

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the southeastern edge of this Mississippi County landscape, where the Barfield Revetment and Barfield Bend show the managed engineering of the river's path. Inland, the terrain is dominated by an extensive drainage network, including Ditch Number 46 and Ditch Number 44, supporting the agricultural character of communities like Number Nine and Promised Land. This survey documents the area just east of Blytheville, centered on the settlement of Armorel and its local landmarks such as the Armorel Vol Fire Dept. For those tracing local heritage, several historic burial grounds are clearly marked, including the African Methodist Episcopal Cemetery near the river and the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery further north. The infrastructure reflects a mix of aviation at the Blytheville Municipal Airport and traditional riverfront activity at Barfield Landing.
