About this map

Paragould sits at the eastern edge of this mid-1980s landscape, serving as a hub for the agricultural and residential communities of Greene County. The map details the transition from the city's suburban fringes, including the Municipal Airport and a Drive-In Theater, to the more rural stretches westward. Small settlements like Oak Grove Heights and Greene High anchor the local geography, while the terrain is defined by a series of waterways including Eightmile Creek, Sugar Creek, and Village Creek.

Land use patterns are clearly visible through the inclusion of Fish Ponds and the community-focused Reynolds Park. The drainage network, characterized by several parallel creeks flowing toward the southeast, dictates the placement of roads and farms throughout this region of Arkansas. This survey provides a clear view of the area's development before the rapid expansion of the late 20th century, marking a time when local landmarks like the theater were still prominent features of the rural-urban interface.
