About this map

Hickory Plains and Hayley anchor this rural landscape along the border of Prairie and Lonoke Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Wattensaw Bayou and its tributaries like Little Faras Run and Faras Run. Agricultural and family roots are evident in the numerous small burial grounds and landmarks that dot the countryside, such as Pleasant Ridge Cem, Walters Chapel Cem, and Tucker Cem.

Water management is a central theme of the local geography, shown through features like Reservoir Number One and McCallie Reservoir, which likely support the region's farming operations. The transport network relies on historic routes such as State Hwy 13 and State Hwy 86, connecting small settlements like Crossroad to the surrounding prairie. This map offers a detailed look at the persistence of rural Arkansas communities and their reliance on the local bayous and creeks.
