About this map

Palestine serves as the primary hub on this eastern Arkansas landscape, where the flat, agricultural Delta terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive network of drainage and transport routes. To the north, the Burns Aerodrome sits near Pine Tree Rd, while the L'Anguille River winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a significant rural cemetery distribution, including Westley Cem, Union Hill Cem, and Mars Hill Cem, which offer critical touchpoints for family historians and genealogists tracking the residents of St. Francis and Lee counties.

Water features such as Coffee Cr, Cole Lake, and Larkin Cr dictate the layout of the section lines and rural roads. Moving south across the St. Francis and Lee County line, the small settlement of Gill is identified alongside Gill Cem. This 2017 survey provides a high-resolution view of the modern road network, from local thoroughfares like Jumpers Corner Rd to the numerous designated SFC county roads that connect the dispersed farmsteads and agricultural plots.
