2014 Map of Greenfield

About this map

Crowley's Ridge rises prominently in the center of this landscape, creating a distinct topographical divide between the alluvial lowlands. The ridge provides the setting for several small communities and family burial grounds, including Ridge, Cary, and Houston Cem. To the west, the flat terrain of the Mississippi Embayment is drained by the L'Anguille River, where the town of Greenfield sits near the Poinsett and Craighead county line. This geography dictated the placement of early settlements and roads, with rural clusters like Mulligan and Gaulett following the natural breaks in the land. Genealogists will find numerous preserved sites of local interest, such as Mt Pisgah Cem and White Cem, located along the elevated terrain of Ar-163. The map also details water features like Ganaway Cr and Lonnie Jaynes Lake, reflecting the drainage patterns that have shaped this agricultural region for generations.
