About this map

The low-lying alluvial plains of Lawrence County dominate this landscape, defined by a complex network of drainage sloughs and creeks. Sedgwick sits near the northeastern corner, while the small settlements of Egypt and Promised Land anchor the southern reaches. The terrain is characterized by meandering water bodies such as White Oak Slough, Marrow Bone Slough, and Lick Pond Slough, reflecting the hydrologic nature of this region.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family burial grounds across the rural landscape, including Manning Cem, Brown Cem, and Markham Cem. A notable piece of historical infrastructure is preserved in the name of Narrow Gauge Rd, suggesting former timber or agricultural rail lines that once traversed these wetlands. The map also delineates the boundary between Lawrence and Craighead counties, following the course of the West Cache River Slough.
