2024 Map of Pollard

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises distinctly from the surrounding flatlands on this survey of northeastern Arkansas, creating a geological and social divide that dictates the local landscape. The settlement of Pollard sits on higher ground at the edge of this ridge, while the northern sections of the map are defined by an extensive drainage system, including Ditch Number 5 and Fish Trap Slough, which allowed for the conversion of wetlands into productive farmland. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites documenting the area's early families, such as Crockett Cem, Holcomb Cem, and Rogers Cem. The transition from the alluvial plain to the ridgeline is marked by numerous small waterways like Sales Creek and Horse Creek, showing how the topography shaped the placement of roads and small communities like Crockett and its associated Hardin Cem.
