About this map

Crowleys Ridge dominates this Arkansas landscape, where the elevation of the ridge meets the low-lying wetlands of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. The map documents the community of La Grange at the intersection of State Hwy 185 and Lick Creek, alongside several smaller rural settlements like Jeffersonville and Haleside. These areas are characterized by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Lackie Cem, Mount Perion Cem, and Honor Hill Cem, which provide valuable location data for genealogists tracking local history.

Along the eastern edge, the Saint Francis River and L'Anguille River wind through the St. Francis National Forest, creating complex water features like Hale Bend and High Bank Bend. The transition from the dissected uplands of Ripper Hollow and Casteel Hollow to the river bottoms is sharp, with numerous lakes such as Bear Creek Lake and Anderson Lake filling the depressions between the ridge and the active river channels. This terrain illustrates the geographic constraints on local transportation, where roads like Lee Road 210 follow the base of the ridge to avoid the swampy river basins.
