About this map

Jonesboro expands across the western edge of this 2020 landscape, where the urban grid begins to yield to the structured agricultural plains of Craighead County. The map documents the persistent layout of small rural communities and named crossroads such as Phillips, Hergett, and Gum Point that define the area's social geography between the larger hubs of Brookland and Bay. This modern survey illustrates how traditional land divisions in the northeastern corner of the state continue to shape movement and development.

Surface drainage is managed through a system of natural and engineered waterways, including Bridger Cr and the prominent Big Bay Ditch. The presence of the Classic Airstrip near Needham highlights the continued importance of regional aviation in this flat, open terrain. Local transport is anchored by an extensive network of county roads, such as Rodgers Chapel Rd and Craighead 912 Rd, which connect remote farmsteads to the expanding city center.
