2020 Map of Banks

About this map

Moro Cr serves as a winding natural boundary between Calhoun and Bradley counties, defining the center of this rural landscape. The settlement of Banks sits at the intersection of local roads in the northeast, while Tinsman and Summerville anchor the western reaches. The area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Hurricane Cr and Caney Cr, which drain the timberlands and small family farms that have historically supported these communities. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted, such as McFarland Cem near Banks and Childs Cem to the south. The terrain is marked by distinct features like Cagle Spring and the expansive Harrell Lake, illustrating the water-rich geography of southern Arkansas as it appeared in recent years.
