2020 Map of Newell

About this map

The South Arkansas Regional Airport at Goodwin Field serves as a prominent landmark in this Union County landscape, situated between the rural communities of Cairo and Newell. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists due to the density of family and community burial grounds, including Mount Zion Cem, Goodwin Cem, Pate Cem, and Friendship Cem. The natural drainage of the region is defined by a complex network of creeks such as Richland Cr, Dry Cr, and Beech Cr, which flow toward the Little Cornie Bayou in the southeast. This modern update of the topography reveals how established roads like Lisbon Rd and Shuler Rd continue to connect the scattered homes and farms of the area, maintaining a settlement pattern that mirrors historical property lines and small-scale agriculture.
