2014 Map of Cotton Plant

About this map

Cotton Plant stands as the primary hub of this eastern Arkansas landscape, situated where the southern reaches of Woodruff Co meet Prairie Co. The town's layout is defined by a grid of streets including Church St and Lynch St, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural plains. The geography is dominated by the meandering path of the Cache River and its associated wetlands, such as Roaring Slough and Cache Bayou. Small rural communities like Dixie, Shady Grove, and Maberry are scattered throughout the territory, connected by a network of state routes including Ar-33 and Ar-38. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Beard Cem, Shelton Cem, and Ebenezer Cem, which mark the generational lineage of these delta settlements. Hydrological features like Little Clear Lake, Hammond Lake, and Ditch Number 1 indicate a complex system of natural waterways and drainage efforts typical of the region's river-bottom geography.
