2020 Map of Brinkley

About this map

Brinkley serves as the focal point of this Eastern Arkansas landscape, situated at a crossroads of commerce and transportation. The town's grid extends toward Lake Greenlee and Brinkley Lake, while the Frank Federer Memorial Airport marks the southern periphery. To the north, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and agricultural tracts defined by Bayou de View and its associated Bayou De View Water Trail. The map documents a network of small settlements and named corners, such as Fargo, Wheatley, and Fox'S Corner, which developed along historical transit corridors. Local genealogy is well-represented through several family and community burial sites, including Macedonia Cem, Munn Cem, and Ash Grove Cem. The presence of features like Maple Slough and Caney Slash illustrates the persistent hydrology of the Mississippi Delta, where drainage patterns and bayous continue to shape the placement of roads like Railroad RD and Co Line RD.
