2020 Map of Caraway

About this map

The town of Caraway and its surrounding agricultural plains are defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, reflecting a landscape engineered for cultivation. This 2020 survey illustrates how Honey Cypress Ditch Number 4 and Buffalo Creek Ditch manage the hydrology of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. The map shows the transition from Craighead to Mississippi County, with settlements like Black Oak and Monette connected by a grid of rural roads such as Ar 148 HWY. Family and local history is anchored at the Caraway Cem and near the Caraway Schools Ln. Minor rises in elevation like Black Oak Ridge and Coopers Ridge offer subtle relief in an otherwise low-lying region. Smaller named locales, including Cottonwood Corner, Hancock, and Hancock Junction, mark the intersections of rural life and commerce across the delta.
