About this map

Monticello anchors the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the town's expansion meets the rural drainages of the Arkansas delta. The area is defined by a series of low-lying natural grasslands and seasonal waterways, including Cooper Prairie, Brush Prairie, and Tiffin Prairie, which have historically shaped the agricultural footprint of Drew County. The map details the transition from the municipal surroundings of the Monticello Municipal Airport/Ellis Field to the complex network of creeks that drain the territory, such as Upper Cutoff Cr, Lower Cutoff Cr, and the winding path of Piney Cr. Several legacy burial grounds, including Old Union Cem, Mt Zion Cem, and Shady Grove Cem, are distributed across the township lines, marking early settlement clusters near long-established routes like Ar-138 and Ar-4.
