About this map

Parkers Corner sits at the intersection of rural life and agricultural engineering along the border of Lonoke and Prairie Counties. This landscape is defined by the expansive reaches of the Grand Prairie and Long Prairie, where the natural drainage of Bayou Two Prairie and La Grue Bayou has been supplemented by a network of man-made water management features. The area's dependence on water for cultivation is evident in the numerous irrigation structures such as the Joe Uhiren Reservoir and Thomas Reservoir Number 2.

Family and community history are anchored by small landmarks like Zion Cem and Lutheran Cem, while a grid of country roads—including Otis Parker Rd, Plant-Daniels Rd, and Raborn Rd—connects the dispersed farmsteads. The winding path of Skinners Branch and the still waters of Peterson Lake and Cooper Lake provide a counterpoint to the straight-line boundaries of the township and range system that organizes this section of the Arkansas delta.
