2017 Map of Monroe

About this map

Monroe and Buckhorn anchor this landscape where Lee, Monroe, and Phillips Counties meet in eastern Arkansas. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways and drainage, including Piney Creek and the low-lying Warrior Bottom. Family history and local heritage are preserved in scattered sites such as Bonds Cem near the western edge and Pine Ridge Cem further south. The map reveals a land heavily shaped by agricultural management, evidenced by numerous named roads like Hog Farm Ln and Minnow Farm Rd, as well as engineered water features like Lateral Number 2. Small clusters of settlement at Smale and Whitehall show the persistence of rural communities within this alluvial plain. The boundary lines for T2N R1W and surrounding townships provide the legal framework for the sectioned fields that stretch across Cypress Swamp and the banks of Crooked Cr.
