2011 Map of Lexa

About this map

Lexa and its surrounding rural hamlets define this stretch of Phillips County, where the landscape transitions from the higher ground near North Lexa toward the meandering bottomlands of Big Creek. This 2011 survey reveals a dense network of crossroads and family settlements, many centered on small historic cemeteries such as Saint James Cemetery and the uniquely named Hell Cemetery. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the regular grid of Phillips Road routes connecting small communities like Poplar Grove, Blackfoot, and Barton. Waterways like Crooked Creek and Lick Creek cut through the farmland, influencing the placement of original homesteads and local landmarks such as Sunset Memorial Park. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure at Lexa Junction, serving as a vital record for genealogists tracing ancestors through these specific Arkansas townships.
