About this map

Crowleys Ridge dominates the western half of this Greene County landscape, creating a distinct topographical rise above the surrounding alluvial plains. The map records the expansion of Paragould toward the west in the early 1980s, documenting a mix of urban growth and agricultural heritage. Transportation corridors are central to the area's development, notably the St Louis Southwestern railroad line and the Municipal Airport near the city center.

Local life is anchored by community landmarks such as Greene High, Oak Grove Heights, and Reynolds Park. The drainage pattern is defined by numerous waterways including Eightmile Creek, Village Creek, and Sugar Creek, which carve through the elevations of the ridge. This survey captures a specific moment in the evolution of these northeast Arkansas settlements, showing the transition from rural land use to established residential and municipal infrastructure.
