2014 Map of Jericho

About this map

Wapanocca Lake and the winding course of the Arkansas-Tennessee state line define this low-lying landscape within the Mississippi River floodplain. The area is marked by numerous small rural cemeteries, including Malone Cem, New Mt Zion Cem, and Mt Olive Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for local family histories. Small communities like Jericho, Clarkedale, and James-Mill are connected by a network of local roads such as W Clarkedale Rd and Adams Rd, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the alluvial geography. Notable features like Pecan Ridge and Island Forty indicate the shifting nature of the river over time, while the southern boundary includes the northern edge of Marion. The intricate drainage system of Wapanocca Bayou and Fifteenmile Bayou illustrates the hydraulic complexity of this delta region.
