1984 Map of Pollard

About this map

Pollard sits on the southern edge of a landscape defined by the intersection of Crowley's Ridge and the reclaimed lowlands of the Mississippi embayment. This 1984 survey reveals an intricate network of drainage engineering, most notably the Little Cache River Ditch, which cuts a straight path across the terrain to manage the flow of the local river system. The presence of Trap Slough further highlights the transition from the elevated, timbered hills to the lower bottomlands. Situated along the Butler Co Clay Co line, the map documents the rural boundary between Arkansas and Missouri. The settlement pattern here reflects the agricultural development of the late 20th century, where land use is strictly divided between the wooded slopes and the gridded, drained fields of the valley floor.
