About this map

Paragould expands eastward toward a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and small agricultural settlements. This early 1980s snapshot reveals the town's growth beyond the core, with outlying communities like Cotton Belt, Morning Star, and Twin Oaks serving as landmarks within the fertile Greene County plains. The land here is meticulously managed for agriculture, evidenced by the prominent grid of levees and fish ponds located south of Lake Side.

Water management is central to the area's geography, with Eightmile Creek and Village Creek flowing through the territory. To the east, the terrain becomes more complex as it approaches the lowlands of Mud Slough and Giles Island. Smaller locales such as Halliday, Noxburn, and Coffman provide specific points of reference for local historians and genealogists tracking the development of these rural Arkansas townships.
