About this map

The Saint Francis River and its intricate network of sloughs and bends dominate this corner of eastern Arkansas. The landscape is defined by the river's winding path, creating distinctive terrain features like Woods Bend, Short Bend, Barrow Bend, and Ash Bend. Along these waterways, a series of named locales suggest a history of family landings and rural crossroads, including Yarbo Place, Love Place, and Colton Crossing.

Parkin serves as the primary population center, situated near the confluence of the river and Parkin Slough. Further east, the Tyronza River flows through a landscape marked by drainage and transport routes, such as Dummy Line Rd and Dibble Rd. This 2011 survey captures the area’s agricultural and hydrological character, noting localized landmarks like the Parkin Post Office and McDonald Cemetery that remain essential to tracing the genealogy and geography of Cross County.
