2017 Map of Clarendon

About this map

Clarendon serves as the central hub of this river-dominated landscape, situated where the Cache River flows into the meandering White River. The intricate network of waterways reflects the dynamic hydrology of the Arkansas Delta, with features like Upper Old River, First Old River, and the Crooked Point Cut-off indicating former channel paths. The surrounding wetlands are dotted with numerous named bodies of water, including Big Weidmann Lake, Passmore Lake, and Big Baptize Lake. Away from the riverbanks, the land rises slightly toward Walnut Ridge and the agricultural fields of the eastern bottoms. Local genealogy and history are preserved at Shady Grove Cem and Bateman Cem, while the town's street grid, including Washington St and Jefferson St, shows the established residential and commercial core of this riverfront community. The map's detailed labeling of river points, such as Dead Man Point and Sycamore Point, highlights the historical importance of river navigation for the region.
