2011 Map of Dixie

About this map

The Saint Francis River winds along the eastern boundary of this landscape, its complex hydrology defining a series of landforms including Big Island, Newton Island, and Rush Island. This area of Northeast Arkansas is characterized by a dense grid of rural routes such as Greene Road 915 and County Rd-998, which connect small agricultural hubs and residential clusters. The map details several historically significant settlements including Dixie, Lester, and Schug, alongside numerous family-named landmarks like Mitchell Point and White Oak Point. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds situated near these communities, notably Parsons Cemetery, Miller Cemetery, and Burrow Cemetery. The transition from the alluvial lowlands near Deasons Lake to the slightly elevated Upper Poplar Ridge illustrates the subtle but critical topography that historically influenced settlement patterns in Craighead and Greene counties.
