2014 Map of Jacksonport

About this map

Jacksonport sits at the historic confluence where the White River meets the winding Black River, a point long central to river commerce and regional development in Arkansas. The landscape is defined by the sharp meanders of these river systems, creating distinctive terrain features like Dead Mule Bend, Mason Bend, and the elevated Howard Mound. To the east, the corridor between Diaz and Newport shows the modern concentration of infrastructure, while the western side remains dominated by the oxbow lakes and wetlands typical of the delta, including Goose Lake and Long Lake. Numerous rural burial grounds are scattered throughout the quadrangle, such as Shiloh Cem and the Hickory Grove Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogists. The map also documents the transition from river-side settlements like Paroquet and Reamey to the rail and highway-oriented development at Campbell Station.
