About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises above the alluvial landscape of Greene County, serving as a prominent geographical anchor for the town of Marmaduke and the smaller settlement of Lafe. The topography here is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Hurricane Cr, Slavens Cr, and Henderson Cr, which carve through the terrain east of the ridge. The St Louis Southwestern RR cuts a straight path through Marmaduke, illustrating the historical reliance on rail for transporting the region's agricultural output.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family and community landmarks. Numerous burial sites are documented, such as Harveys Chapel Cem, Old Liberty Cem, and Talken Cem. The map also identifies the Friends Ch and a series of rural roads, including Old Friendship Rd and New Liberty Rd, which provide a clear picture of the established rural network in the northeast corner of Arkansas during this era.
