1983 Map of Caraway

About this map

The low-lying alluvial plains of Craighead County define this 1983 survey, where an extensive drainage network transformed the Eastern Arkansas landscape into productive farmland. Settlements like Caraway and Black Oak serve as focal points in a region dominated by precisely engineered waterways, including Honey Cypress Ditch and Buffalo Creek Ditch. These man-made channels were essential for managing the water table across the flats surrounding Coopers Ridge and Milligan Ridge. Local landmarks such as Mt Pleasant Ch and Rowes Chapel anchor the rural community, while the Caraway Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracking family ties in the area. In the southeast corner, the natural course of the Right Hand Chute of Little River contrasts with the straight lines of the surrounding irrigation and drainage systems.
