2017 Map of Pollard

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises above the alluvial lowlands of Clay County, Arkansas, creating a distinct topographical divide between the hill country and the engineered drainage basins to the north. This transition is marked by a network of drainage channels, including Ditch Number 17, Ditch Number 6, and Ditch Number 5, which facilitate agriculture in the flatlands near the Missouri border. The settlement of Pollard serves as a local hub, while the smaller community of Crockett sits further south among the winding roads of the ridge. The area is dotted with small, family-named cemeteries such as Crockett Cem, Rogers Cem, and Hardin Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research. Natural water features like Nicholas Lake and the descriptive Fish Trap Slough contrast with the straight-line precision of the county's rural road grid.
