2020 Map of Lafe

About this map

Crowleys Ridge dominates the central topography of this Greene County landscape, rising distinctly above the flatter drainage basins of the Cache River and Big Cr. The elevation profile here creates a sharp contrast between the upland terrain and the engineered drainage systems to the north and east, where Lateral Number 13 and Lateral Number 1 support the region's agricultural layout. Small rural communities like Lafe and Gainesville serve as local hubs, connected by a network of named county roads that follow both the section lines and the natural contours of the ridge. For those tracing family history, several burial sites are documented including Lafe Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and the Beech Grove Cem near the settlement of Beech Grove. The transition from the alluvial bottomlands to the wooded slopes of the ridge defines the land use throughout this portion of Northeast Arkansas.
