About this map

The northern edge of the Arkansas-Louisiana state line anchors this survey, showing the transition from the organized street grids of Crossett and South Crossett into the rural timberlands and creek bottoms of Ashley County. A network of watercourses, including the winding Snake Creek and Jackson Creek, defines the local geography, providing natural drainage across the southern reaches of the state. The town plan for Crossett is particularly detailed, featuring streets named after native trees like Pine St, Oak St, and Hickory St.

Rural life outside the urban center is evidenced by small settlements and family burial grounds scattered throughout the landscape. For local historians, these landmarks are essential for tracing early twentieth-century community centers. Named locations like Meridian and White sit among several established cemeteries, including Hickory Grove Cem and Ryles Chapel Cem, which remain as fixed points of reference in an area otherwise characterized by shifting woods and seasonal creek forks.
