2016 Map of Ripley North

About this map

Ripley and its northern rural outskirts in Lauderdale County are documented here through a dense network of country roads and local water bodies. The terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands of the Old Bed Forked Deer River and Chisholm Lake in the west to the higher elevations where small communities like Edith, Central, and Arp are situated. This geography is defined by its many small ponds and creeks, including Gum Pond and Cane Creek, alongside family-named landmarks like the Flying I Ranch Airport. Local history is anchored by numerous graveyards such as Mount Pleasant Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The map also shows modern infrastructure developments like Cane Cr Lake Number Nine, illustrating how water management has shaped the local landscape over time.
