2014 Map of Needham

About this map

Farrville and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Craighead County are captured in this 2014 survey, illustrating the rural settlement patterns east of Jonesboro. The map documents several small community centers, including Phillips, Needham, and Gum Point, which serve as focal points for the local road network. The drainage of the Mississippi Embayment is represented by Bridger Cr and Murray Cr, which wind through the flat terrain between section lines. Further south, the settlement of Hergett sits near the crossing of several county roads, while the northern edge of Bay appears at the bottom of the sheet. Transportation infrastructure is a defining feature here, from the diagonal path of the railway near Whiteman Cr to the Classic Airstrip, which highlights the continued importance of aviation in this region's modern rural economy.
