2020 Map of Hawkins

About this map

L'Anguille River and its dense network of tributaries, including Second Creek, First Creek, and Cypress Cr, dominate this section of St. Francis County. The settlement pattern is defined by rural junctions such as Hawkins and Slonikers Mill, reflecting a landscape built around agricultural drainage and early transport routes. A notable piece of regional history is preserved in the alignment of Old Military Rd W in the northern portion of the survey, a route that historically connected the Mississippi River to the interior of Arkansas. Small family and community landmarks are scattered throughout the township lines, including Barnishaw Cem, Stanley Grove Cem, Gaston Cem, and Bell Cem. The grid of county roads and named routes like Slonikers Mill Rd provide a framework for genealogists to locate ancestral homesteads within the established sections of T6N and T5N.
