1986 Map of Jonesboro

About this map

Crowley's Ridge dominates the central topography of this Northeast Arkansas landscape, providing a narrow elevated spine through the surrounding lowlands of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. In the mid-1980s, Jonesboro serves as the primary regional hub, where the St Louis Southwestern Railway and Burlington Northern Railroad intersect to define the city's transport layout. The eastern half of the map reveals an intricate hydraulic environment, featuring the Oak Donnick Floodway and the St Francis Sunken Lands State Wildlife Management Area, illustrating the complex drainage and conservation efforts of the St. Francis Basin.
