About this map

Blytheville dominates the western edge of this Mississippi County survey, where the eastern reach of E Main St and State Hwy 18 lead toward the riverfront. The landscape is defined by an extensive drainage network, including Ditch Number 30, Ditch Number 51, and Crooked Lake Bayou, reflecting the heavy engineering required to manage the fertile delta lowlands. Smaller settlements like Armorel, Burton, and Barfield are scattered along these primary routes, while the curious name of Number Nine marks a community further north near the border.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several sites, including Pleasant Ridge Cem, Spur Cem, and the African Methodist Episcopal Cem near Armorel. The southeast corner captures the shifting banks of the Mississippi River at Barfield Bend and Ruckers Point, where the Arkansas-Tennessee state line follows the river's course. Central to the area's infrastructure is the Blytheville Municipal Airport, situated between the city and the surrounding agricultural fields.
