1948 Map of Jonesboro

A network of rural life is evident in the numerous small schools and churches that dot the valleys, including Morgan Sch, Lockard Chapel, and the historic Kornthal settlement. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex near the Clear Creek bottomlands, where a system of levees and ditches protects farmland and manages the drainage toward Upper Bluff Lake. This survey captures the transition from the forested heights of Iron Mtn to the intensive agricultural and transportation corridor of the county seat.
