2024 Map of Cherry Valley East

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises as the dominant geological feature of this landscape, creating a distinct topographical corridor between the lower alluvial plains of Cross Co and Poinsett Co. This elevated terrain is characterized by a high density of rural cemeteries, including Tyer Cem, Stark Cem, and Riley Cem, suggesting a long history of family settlement along the ridge's reliable high ground. The southern end of the ridge is marked by the Arkansas State Veterans Cem at Birdeye, situated near the community of Birdeye. The transition from the rugged ridge to the surrounding flatland is defined by numerous watercourses such as Hydrick Creek and Halk Creek. Small settlements like Bay Village and Whitehall anchor the road network, which navigates the complex elevation changes before straightening into the grid of the eastern valley floor near Sugar Creek.
