About this map

Forrest City and its surrounding communities are positioned along the distinct geological rise of Crowley Ridge, a landmark that breaks the flat alluvial plains of the Arkansas Delta. This 2017 survey details the urban layout of the county seat, showing its relationship with the Union Pacific RR and the network of waterways including Little Telico Cr and Crow Creek. To the north, the smaller settlements of Caldwell and Colt appear alongside the Delta Regional Airport.

Genealogists can identify several local burial sites, such as Mount Vernon Cem, Forrest City Cem, and the more secluded Beazley Cem near Meadow Cliff. The landscape transition is evident where the elevated ridge terrain meets the lowlands of the L'Anguille River basin to the west. Recreation and local geography are further defined by the series of reservoirs including Lake Saint Francis and Forest Lake Number 3.
