About this map

Lepanto serves as the primary hub in this corner of Northeast Arkansas, where the Left Hand Chute of Little River meanders toward the Tyronza River. The town's grid is well-established, featuring Potter Memorial Cem, Pine Rest Cem, and Greenwood Cem within its immediate vicinity. The landscape is defined by the agricultural drainage network, including Ditch Number 51b, which reshaped this part of the Mississippi Delta.

Smaller settlements and named locales like Alto, Wilbeth, and Whitton are scattered along the section lines, while Frys Mill marks a specific point of industrial or local interest. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, such as Woolsey Cem, Conaster Cem, and Rock of Ages Cem. The presence of Spear Lake and Cross Bayou highlights the persistent wetland features of the delta, even as extensive ditching has converted much of the terrain for farming.
