2024 Map of Joiner

About this map

Dyess and Joiner anchor this survey of the Mississippi County landscape, where the agricultural geometry of the Arkansas Delta is defined by an intricate network of drainage canals and historic watercourses. The Tyronza River winds through the northwestern corner, while the Frenchmans Bayou and Cross Bayou cut across the southern reaches near Chelford and Westover. This modern record reveals a territory dotted with small family and community burial grounds, including the Mount Pisby Cem, Ashburn Cem, and Saint Marys Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. The map also captures several smaller named locales such as Bardstown, Wardell, and McClendons Corner, illustrating the persistent footprint of dispersed rural settlements even as contemporary transportation corridors like Interstate 55 now dominate the north-south transit through the region.
