About this map

The borderland of Greene and Clay Counties comes into focus through this survey of the Arkansas and Missouri line. This landscape is defined by its drainage and elevated ridges, where agricultural life is organized around features like Horse Island Ridge and Brushy Ridge. The small settlement of Mounds and the nearby Reddick Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracking family roots in this corner of Northeast Arkansas.

Water management is central to the area's geography, with the Big Slough Ditch, Cottonwood Slough, and Hurricane Ditch cutting through the terrain to manage the delta lowlands. The map reveals a network of dispersed communities such as Hopewell, Dixie, and Heubner, connected by a grid of rural roads like Van Guilder Rd and White Oak Rd. From the southern reach of Bark Camp Island to the northern fields of Leonard, the map documents the persistent rural character of the region.
