2014 Map of Jerome

About this map

Jerome and the surrounding delta landscape of Chicot and Drew counties are defined by a complex network of meandering waterways. The primary artery, Bayou Bartholomew, winds through the western portion of the map, while Crooked Bayou and Big Bayou dominate the eastern lowlands. This 2014 survey reveals a transition from these historic natural boundaries to the structured grid of Arkansas agriculture, with long, straight roads like AR 144 Hwy W and N Louisiana Blvd cutting across the alluvial plain. For family historians, several burial sites are documented, including Silver Mound Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem. The presence of the Dermott Municipal Airport and the settlement of Hudspeth alongside US 165 Hwy S illustrates how modern transportation corridors have followed the natural high ground between the bayous and the oxbow of Lake Wallace.
