2024 Map of Newell

About this map

Newell and Cairo anchor this portion of Union County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of Bayou De Loutre and Curtis Creek. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Mount Zion Cem, Mount Willie Cem, and Curtis Grove Cem. The South Arkansas Regional Airport at Goodwin Field occupies a central plateau, its runways cutting across the natural drainage of Dry Creek. This modern aviation facility contrasts with the traditional rural layout of the surrounding territory, where the terrain transitions from the elevations of Choctaw Ridge down toward the bottomlands of Little Connie Bayou. Throughout the quadrangle, local thoroughfares such as Shuler Rd and Lisbon Rd link small settlements and historic church sites to the broader Arkansas timber and oil country.
