About this map

Lepanto sits at the northern edge of this Poinsett County landscape, where the Left Hand Chute of Little River defines the drainage patterns of the eastern Arkansas delta. This region is characterized by a dense network of drainage ditches and small bayous, such as Cross Bayou and Ditch Number 51b, which have historically supported the area's agricultural productivity. Smaller settlements including Alto, Whitton, and the site at Frys Mill are connected by a grid of county roads and state highways, reflecting a rural economy deeply tied to the land.

Genealogists and local historians can find a high concentration of burial sites across the township lines, from the Potter Memorial Cem near the river to the Rock of Ages Cem and Ward Cem further south. The map documents the persistent nature of these community landmarks, including the Dunn Cem and Woolsey Cem, which remain as anchor points for families whose history is rooted in the Tyronza River basin.
