2024 Map of Lepanto

About this map

Lepanto serves as the primary hub of this eastern Arkansas landscape, where the Left Hand Chute of Little River and the Tyronza River define the local topography. This survey captures a dense network of rural communities and local cemeteries that speak to the area's deep family roots, including Whitton, Alto, and Wilbeth. The map reveals a highly structured drainage system, notably Ditch Number 516, which turned the surrounding Delta lowlands into productive acreage. For researchers of local heritage, the abundance of family and community burial grounds, such as Potter Memorial Cem, Conaster Cem, and Rock of Ages Cem, provides essential points of reference. The transition from established town streets in Lepanto, like Kenwood Ave and W Broad St, to the outlying reaches of Spear Lake and Frys Mill illustrates the traditional agricultural and hydrological patterns of Poinsett and Mississippi counties.
