2017 Map of Jericho

About this map

The Mississippi River forms the eastern boundary of this Arkansas-Tennessee border region, carving a landscape defined by chutes and islands like Brandywine Island and Beef Island. The interior of Crittenden County is dominated by the sprawling wetlands of Wapanocca Lake and the drainage of Fifteenmile Bayou. Small agricultural communities and family-named ridges, such as Jericho and Pecan Ridge, dot the lowlands between the waterways. Local history is preserved in numerous rural burial grounds, including Malone Cem and New Mount Zion Cem, which reflect the area's long-standing settlement patterns. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is represented by the Turrell Flying Service Airport and a network of rural roads such as W Clarkedale Rd and Pirani Headquarters Rd, which navigate the complex alluvial terrain of the Mississippi Delta.
