About this map

Manila sits at the southern edge of this Mississippi County survey, serving as a hub for a landscape defined by an intensive network of drainage engineering. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous channels such as Buffalo Ditch Number 1, Ditch Number 6, and Dredge Boat Creek Ditch Number 12, illustrating a massive historic effort to manage the alluvial wetlands of the Mississippi Flyway. Along the eastern border, the Little River and the Right Hand Chute Little River wind through the lowlands, creating natural points such as Cottonwood Point and Tims Point.

Small agricultural settlements and named junctions like Poplar Corner, Buckeye, and Arkmo—located along the Missouri state line—are connected by a grid of county roads. These rural communities, including Garson and Pawheen, reflect the late 20th-century development of the Arkansas Delta. The presence of the Manila Municipal Airport and the Box Elder Cemetery provides specific landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing the evolution of this corner of the state.
