About this map

Dyess stands as a focal point of this agricultural landscape in eastern Arkansas, where the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System defines the placement of roads and farmsteads. The winding course of the Tyronza River in the northwest and Frenchmans Bayou in the southeast provide the only organic lines against a strict grid of county roads, such as W Co Road 1020 and S Co Road 139.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites marking the history of small communities, including Saint Marys Cem near Chelford and Mt Psby Cem along the southern border. The settlement pattern follows a clear corridor between Joiner and Bassett, with smaller junctions like Mcclendons Corner and Wardell illustrating the dispersed nature of Mississippi County's rural development during this era.
