About this map

The Saint Francis River and its meandering channel dominate this part of Crittenden County, carving a path through the alluvial landscape near Joyland. The map illustrates a region defined by its water systems, including the Tyronza River and Sand Slough, which shape the local drainage and agricultural patterns. Significant for genealogists, several local burial sites are identified across the quadrangle, including Mount Olive Cemetery in the north and King Solomon Cemetery further south.

Small communities like Galilee, Black Oak, and Yellow Banks are connected by a network of rural routes such as County Rd-71 and County Rd-345. The presence of landmarks like Cummins Bar and Cow Island reflects the dynamic nature of the river systems, which historically influenced settlement locations and land use. The Poinsett County line marks the western boundary, cutting across the low-lying terrain of Mack Bayou.
