2011 Map of Marvell

About this map

The town of Marvell serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Phillips County, Arkansas. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage channels and irrigation systems, including Coffee Creek, Crooked Creek, and the engineered Lateral Number 2, which support the surrounding field operations. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure at the start of the 2010s, showing the concentrated grid of Marvell alongside the smaller outlying communities of Hicksville and Hicks. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Schaffhauser Cemetery, Mount Mariah Cemetery, and Pastel Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the lowland farm tracts. This survey illustrates how the local road network, including numerous Phillips Road and County Road designations, has evolved to connect these isolated settlements and cemeteries across the creek-fed plains.
