About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises from the Arkansas delta on this map, providing a distinct topographic contrast to the surrounding lowlands. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Whaley Slough Ditch, Ark Slough Ditch, and the winding Big Creek. These watercourses support a series of flood control structures like Big Creek Site 11 Reservoir and Big Creek Site 14 Reservoir, which are vital for the agricultural and residential stability of the region.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and road corridors, with the western edge of Jonesboro emerging near Gilkerson. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Bishop Cem and Gibson Cem, while small communities like Herman, Gibson, and Nemo anchor the rural crossroads. The presence of the Farm Service Agency Interest of Arkansas denotes the continued importance of land management in this part of Craighead County.
