About this map

Biggers and Reyno anchor this northeastern Arkansas landscape, where the winding courses of the Current River and Black River dictate the local geography. The area's history is preserved through a remarkable concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Brimmage Cemetery, Scott Cemetery, and Hite Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The transition from the original settlement at Old Reyno to the newer townsite is visible, alongside evidence of early river commerce at Richardson Ferry and Jim Johnson Landing.

The terrain is characterized by oxbow lakes like Peachtree Lake and Schnabaum Lake, and curiously named landmarks such as Sore Eye Point and Two Board Shanty Bend. The intricate network of drainage features like Main Ditch and numerous lateral canals illustrate the long-term engineering required to manage the wetlands of Cherokee Bay for agricultural use. Small-scale aviation history is noted at the Old Reyno Airport, while local ridges such as Pig Ridge and Gum Ridge provide slight elevation above the river bottomlands.
