1984 Map of Greenway

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises above the flatlands of Clay County, providing a distinct topographical break in this agricultural landscape. The town of Greenway is situated at the foot of this elevation, where the St Louis Southwestern railroad tracks run north toward the larger center of Piggott. The map documents a transition from the elevated western terrain to the lower eastern plains, which are intricately drained by a network of waterways including Sugar Creek, Middle Slough, and Big Slough. This 1980s-era survey captures the rural layout of northeastern Arkansas, highlighting small rural gatherings like Mitchell, Hargrave Corner, and the Holly Island Community. The drainage patterns and road grid reflect an area heavily defined by its proximity to these sloughs and the historic rail corridor, which once served as a primary artery for movement through the Delta region.
