About this map

The Cache River meanders through this agricultural landscape of Craighead County, shaping the settlement patterns of towns like Cash and Egypt. The terrain is characterized by an extensive system of drainage ditches and sloughs, such as Gunner Slough, reflecting the area's transition from wetlands to productive farmland. Smaller communities and rural hubs are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Winesburg and Dryden in the northeast, and the small cluster at Little Texas in the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural institutions. The map identifies the Johnson Cem and Red Ch Cem, alongside several country churches like Red Ch and Little Texas Ch. Infrastructure vital to the 1970s local economy is also clearly marked, from the Fish Hatchery near Dryden to the Gaging Sta and Substation, providing a clear view of the regional development before the end of the century.
