2010 Map of Ripley North

About this map

Old Bed Forked Deer River and its associated wetlands define the western landscape of this Lauderdale County survey. The area is marked by numerous water bodies, including the serpentine Chisholm Lake, and several small lakes created by water management efforts such as Cane Creek Lake Number Nine and its accompanying Cane Creek Dam Number Nine. These man-made features contrast with the natural scattering of isolated ponds like Jennings Pond and Gum Pond that sit between the low-lying creeks. Local heritage is grounded in sites like Mount Pleasant Cemetery and New Hope Cemetery, while the modern transportation network is anchored by Industrial Dr and the private Flying I Ranch Airport. The map documents a rural landscape where agricultural land use and watershed engineering exist alongside old river meanders.
