2024 Map of Knobel

About this map

Knobel stands at the heart of this Arkansas landscape, where a grid of local roads meets the winding path of the Black River. The settlement pattern here is defined by its proximity to the low-lying wetlands and the drainage network typical of the Mississippi Embayment, including Gum Slough and East Slough. This region maintains its agricultural character across the boundary between Clay County and Greene County, with small family landmarks preserved throughout the terrain. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites, such as Saint Bernard Cem, Bond Cem, and Gilchrist Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the community's heritage. The map also traces the engineered water management of the area, notably the Cache River Ditch Number 1, which cuts a straight path through the eastern sections to manage the heavy hydrology of the Cache Lake vicinity.
