2020 Map of Cherry Valley West

About this map

The L'Anguille River meanders through this landscape on the border of Poinsett and Cross counties, defining the drainage patterns for the surrounding agricultural lowlands. Near the settlement of Cherry Valley, the terrain transitions into complex wetlands and sloughs, including Wolf Pen Slough and the Caney Bottoms. This environment is characterized by an extensive network of waterways like Hydrick Cr and Cooper Cr, which support the region's farming heritage. A dense grid of county roads, such as Wiley Crossing Rd and Last Chance Rd, provides access to rural properties and local landmarks like the Whirlwind Aviation Airport. The map also captures several man-made water features, notably Ditch Number 15, illustrating the long-term engineering efforts to manage the river's floodplain for cultivation.
