2014 Map of McKinney

About this map

The borderlands of Cleveland Co Bradley Co are defined by the winding drainages of L'Aigle Cr and Steepbank L'Aigle Cr, which carve through the timbered landscape of southern Arkansas. Small settlements like New Edinburg and McKinney serve as anchor points for a rural network of county roads, while the crossroads at Orlando and the community of Weeks reveal the traditional settlement patterns of the region. The landscape is notably dotted with small family and community burial grounds, including the Good Hope Methodist Church Cem and Saint John Cem, which provide significant genealogical clues for the area. Historically significant water sources such as Parnell Springs and various named branches like Hunter Br and Rocky Br illustrate how the local geography influenced the placement of early homesteads and farms in this quiet corner of the state.
