2020 Map of Pollard

About this map

Pollard sits at a geographic transition point where the flat alluvial plains of the Mississippi Embayment meet the distinct elevation of Crowleys Ridge. This 2020 survey illustrates the sharp contrast between the heavily ditched and channelized drainage systems to the north, such as Ditch Number 6 and Fish Loop Slough, and the winding natural watercourses like Housman Cr and Big Cr that flow through the southern uplands. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial sites, including Crockett Cem near the settlement of Crockett, as well as Cummings Cem and Rogers Cem. The landscape is a patchwork of agricultural drainage and varied terrain, supporting small communities and infrastructure like the Ark-Mo Airport right along the Missouri border.
