2014 Map of Pine City

About this map

The lowland bottomlands of the Monroe and Phillips border are defined by intricate drainage systems and scattered rural settlements. Small communities like Pine City, Palmer, and Postelle are interconnected by a grid of county roads and historic tracks such as E Railroad Ln. The landscape is dominated by the presence of large wetlands and seasonally flooded areas, including Persimmon Slash and Walker Cypress Slash, which reflect the hydrology of the Arkansas Delta before modern intensive modification. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds serving these rural outposts, including Union Cem, Saint Marks Cem, and Franklin Cemetery. The meandering courses of Big Cypress Cr and Little Cypress Creek further shape the geography, illustrating the challenges of settlement and agriculture in this riverine environment during the early 21st century.
