About this map

Big Creek and Deer Bayou meander through this Crittenden County landscape, defining the drainage patterns of an area dominated by agricultural networks and small rural settlements. The map records the spatial relationships between several established family and community burial grounds, including Saint Pauls Cemetery near Heafer and the Billow Cemetery situated north of Benwood Lake. These sites, along with Booker Cemetery, Brown Cemetery, and Cruse Cemetery, provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in this part of eastern Arkansas.

The settlement at Turrell sits in the northeast corner, while smaller hubs like Booker and East Black Oak are connected by an extensive grid of local roads. Many of these thoroughfares, such as Smokey Alley Rd and Section Line Rd, follow the precise boundaries of the township and range system. This 2011 survey documents the late 20th and early 21st-century infrastructure, from the path of Interstate 55 to smaller farm-to-market routes like WPA Rd.
