2014 Map of Manila North

About this map

Manila and Leachville anchor this survey of the northern Mississippi County landscape, where the Missouri Arkansas state line divides the low-lying agricultural plains. The region's geography is defined by a dense network of engineered waterways, including the Buffalo Ditch Number 1 and various numbered branches like Ditch Number 6 and Ditch Number 10. These drainage systems reveal the mid-century effort to manage the alluvial basin of the Little River and its Right Hand Chute Little River, creating arable land around settlements such as Poplar Corner and Buckeye. Notable landmarks include the Manila Municipal Airport and several points along the water like Cottonwood Point and Tims Point. Smaller locales like Arkmo and Boynton sit near the border, while the Box Elder Cem provides a specific point of interest for those tracing family roots in the northeast corner of the state.
