2017 Map of Lafe

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises above the alluvial plains of Greene County, providing a distinct topographic break that has historically influenced the settlement patterns of northeast Arkansas. This 2017 survey shows the ridge-top and valley communities of Lafe, Gainesville, and Oak Grove Heights, where the elevation change creates a complex drainage system including Scatter Cr and Locust Cr. The lowland areas to the west are dominated by the Cache River and an intricate network of engineered waterways such as Lateral Number 13 and Lateral Number 1, reflecting the area's agricultural reclamation. Local genealogists will find several burial sites well-documented, including Saint Johns Cem near Lafe and the Beech Grove Cem to the southwest. The map preserves the modern rural road grid, from Brownie Rd to the winding Waller Circle Rd, illustrating the intersection of natural landforms and human development.
