2011 Map of Mounds

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Greene County is defined by a complex network of drainage ditches and creeks designed to manage the fertile bottomlands of northeast Arkansas. Small rural communities and crossroads such as Mounds, Dixie, and Fritz dot the grid of county roads, showing the persistent settlement patterns of this region. The terrain is notably interrupted by distinct elevations like Horse Island Ridge, Brushy Ridge, and Poplar Ridge, which rise above the surrounding flats and historical floodplains. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the prominent Big Slough Ditch, Cottonwood Slough, and Mayo Ditch. For those researching local family history, Reddick Cemetery serves as a grounded landmark in the southern portion of the map. The presence of Rector Airport in the north and the diagonal transit route through Jay illustrates how modern infrastructure overlays the traditional farming tracts of the St. Francis River basin.
