2014 Map of Pollard

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises above the alluvial landscape in this northeast corner of Arkansas, creating a distinct topographical divide south of the Missouri state line. While the northern half of the map is dominated by the geometric drainage patterns of Ditch Number 17, Ditch Number 6, and Ditch Number 5, the southern section transitions into the rising elevations where the town of Pollard and the community of Crockett are situated. This geographic shift from low-lying wetlands like Fish Trap Slough to higher ground reflects the historic settlement patterns of Clay County. Genealogists will find a series of family-named burial sites across the ridge, including Crockett Cem, Rogers Cem, Cummings Cem, and Hardin Cem. The presence of the Ark-Mo Airport near the border highlights the intersection of local aviation with the rural agricultural economy.
