About this map

Hickory Plains and the smaller settlements of Hayley and Crossroad anchor this agricultural landscape along the boundary of Prairie and Lonoke counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of slow-moving waterways, including the winding Wattensaw Bayou, Bear Creek, and White Creek. Local infrastructure is heavily tied to the land's hydrology, evidenced by features such as Reservoir Number One, Burlesons Pond, and Omni Pond.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites across the quadrangle. From Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in the northwest to Walters Chapel Cemetery in the south, these sites—along with McBee Cemetery and Tucker Cemetery—mark the legacy of rural homesteads. The road network, including State Highway 13 and State Highway 86, connects these isolated landmarks through a grid of county roads that follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
