About this map

The Cache River meanders through the western portion of this 2011 survey, defining a landscape of agricultural drainage and small rural settlements. The BNSF Railway cuts a straight diagonal southeast through the corridor, connecting Pauls Switch and Bono to the wider regional trade network. The presence of numerous drainage projects, such as Number 26 Ditch and Bohanan Slough Ditch, highlights the extensive effort to manage the low-lying terrain for cultivation.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and local burial sites, including the Old Military Cemetery in the north and Love Cemetery to the south. Small, named localities like Fiftysix, Dorothy, and Nalle represent the persistent rural community structure of Craighead County. Water management is further evidenced by several small dams, such as the Big Creek Site 10 Dam and the J L Craft Pond Dam, which punctuate the eastern reaches near Trinity Branch.
