2011 Map of Lafe

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises above the alluvial plains of northeastern Arkansas, anchoring a landscape where agriculture and small-town settlements meet. This area of Greene County is defined by its transition from the elevated ridge to the flatlands bisected by the Cache River and its various agricultural drainage systems, including Lateral Number 13 and Lateral Number 1. The map documents established communities like Lafe and Gainesville, alongside several rural hubs such as Stonewall and Beech Grove, both of which are noted with their respective post offices. For genealogists, the inclusion of Saint Johns Cemetery, Lafe Cemetery, and Gainesville Cemetery provides essential reference points for local family history. The drainage network, featuring Scatter Creek, Big Creek, and Locust Creek, illustrates the long-standing management of the watershed to support the surrounding farmland.
