2020 Map of Herman

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises from the landscape south of Jonesboro, providing a distinct topographic contrast to the flat alluvial plains to the west. This area of Craighead County is defined by a sophisticated drainage network including the Whaley Slough Ditch, Ark Slough Ditch, and Black Fork Ditch, which manage water across the lower-lying agricultural fields. Smaller rural settlements such as Herman, Gilkerson, and Gibson are scattered along the section lines, connected by an extensive grid of county roads. Local genealogy and history are preserved at the Bishop Cem and Gibson Cem, while the RBC Airport near Gilkerson highlights the modern infrastructure supporting this region. The map captures the edge of Jonesboro expansion, where residential developments like Big Creek Cove meet the older agricultural landscape.
