About this map

Lepanto and the surrounding Poinsett County lowlands are defined by an intricate network of waterways and drainage channels, most notably the Left Hand Chute of Little River and the winding Tyronza River. The town of Lepanto sits at the confluence of these waters, surrounded by smaller agrarian settlements like Alto, Wilbeth, and Whitton. This landscape is heavily shaped by agricultural infrastructure, where Ditch Number 51b and the Spear Lake area manage the fertile terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense concentration of burial grounds throughout the region, including Potter Memorial Cemetery, Pine Rest Cemetery, and Greenwood Cemetery near the main town site, as well as more isolated locations like Rock of Ages Cemetery and Conaster Cemetery. Industrial and transport markers of the early 21st century are visible at Frys Mill and the Helm Landing Strip, providing a clear view of the rural economy and land use in this part of Northeast Arkansas.
