2017 Map of Dixie

About this map

Saint Francis River and its complex system of marshes and islands dominate this landscape on the border of Greene and Craighead counties. The eastern half of the region is defined by low-lying wetland terrain, featuring prominent landmarks such as Big Island, Newton Island, and Cane Island. This hydrological network is further characterized by the presence of Eightmile Ditch and Big Bay Ditch, reflecting a long history of water management to support the surrounding agricultural settlements. Scattered throughout the higher ground are small communities such as Dixie, Miller, and Schug. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for the Miller Cem, Parsons Cem, and Burrow Cem, which serve as key points of reference for the families that settled this area between the river and the northern edge of Lake View.
