About this map

Paragould serves as the primary urban center for this Greene County landscape, which transitions from a structured city grid into a vast network of section roads and agricultural plots. The northeastern expansion of the city is evident, reaching toward settlements like Morning Star and Twin Oaks. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Eightmile Creek and Hurricane Creek, with the Eight Mile Creek Bridge serving as a key crossing point for local transit.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural communities preserved here, including Cotton Belt, Unity, and Bard. These small clusters of residency are often anchored by long-standing landmarks such as the Memorial Gardens Cem or the Coffman Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of Giles Island and numerous named creeks indicates how the natural water systems shaped the placement of early homesteads and road alignments in this part of Arkansas.
