2017 Map of Cherry Valley West

About this map

Cherry Valley anchors the southeastern corner of this modern survey, where the town's development meets a landscape deeply defined by the management of water. The alluvial lowlands are marked by extensive wetlands and drainage features, such as Ditch Number 15, which reflect the region's agricultural adaptation. The L'Anguille River snakes through the center of the sheet, surrounded by distinctive features like Caney Bottoms and Wolf Pen Slough. Aviation interest is represented by the Whirlwind Aviation Airport north of the river. The grid-like road network, including the curiously named Million Dollar Rd and Last Chance Rd, provides a framework for understanding the rural settlement patterns along the border of Poinsett and Cross counties. Tributaries such as Prairie Cr and Hedrick Cr further illustrate the hydrology that dictates the placement of farms and transit routes throughout this Arkansas delta landscape.
