About this map

Humphrey sits at a geographic crossroads where Lonoke, Jefferson, and Arkansas counties meet. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, dominated by the winding path of Bayou Meto and the straightened channels of the Big Ditch. The map illustrates a rural Arkansas economy heavily reliant on water management and irrigation, evidenced by features such as Randolph Reservoir and Hufford Brake. The proximity of the town to these drainage networks highlights the effort to reclaim and utilize the fertile but swampy bottomlands characteristic of this region.

For genealogists and local historians, several landmarks provide critical spatial context. The Flynn Cem and Bayou Meto Cem are notable markers of early area families and rural congregations. The layout of the town itself is documented through thorough labeling of streets like Buerkle Ave and Maxwell Ave, while the surrounding countryside is connected by family-named routes such as Acklin Bridge Rd and Tom Harville RD.
