About this map

Paragould serves as the focal point of this eastern Greene County survey, where the urban grid meets the agricultural reaches of Northeast Arkansas. The historical footprint of the Cotton Belt railroad corridor is clearly visible, cutting diagonally through the landscape and influencing the placement of settlements like Unity and Cotton Belt. This era of development shows the city's eastern expansion toward Twin Oaks and Lake Side, while the surrounding rural landscape remains defined by its drainage network.

Waterways such as Eightmile Creek, Jacks Creek, and Locust Creek carve through the terrain, with the Eight Mile Creek Bridge serving as a notable local crossing. Outside the city center, researchers can identify small community hubs like Morning Star, Bard, and Coffman, along with the Coffman Cemetery and the Greene County Fairgrounds, illustrating the area's mix of civic infrastructure and traditional farming heritage.
