About this map

Manila serves as the primary hub in this corner of Mississippi County, where the grid-based landscape of Arkansas agricultural drainage meets the sprawling wetlands of the Big Lake area. The southern outskirts of the town give way to a complex hydraulic system, characterized by an extensive network of numbered channels including Ditch Number 13 and Ditch Number 20. These engineered waterways define the region's transition from the developed townsite to the low-lying bottomlands surrounding the Right Hand Chute Little River.

Scattered settlements like Shady Grove, Floodway, and Whistleville are linked by a web of county roads, such as Co Rd W 538 and Whistleville Rd, reflecting the rural development patterns of the early 21st century. Genealogists may find interest in the Brinkley Cem near the southern boundary, while landmarks like Oak Island and Stumpy Chute reveal the natural topography that persists amidst the heavily managed drainage basins of the Left Hand Chute of Little River.
