2011 Map of Risher

About this map

Walker Cemetery sits as a quiet landmark within a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage and natural waterways in Poinsett County. This 2011 survey illustrates the managed hydrology of the Arkansas Delta, where agricultural fields are serviced by engineered channels like Farley Ditch, Elm Ditch, and the lengthy Long Pond Or Cache Ditch. These man-made features intersect with older natural patterns such as Gum Slough and Maple Slough, revealing how the low-lying terrain has been adapted for cultivation. Small settlements and rail sidings like Risher and McDaniel are positioned along the transport corridors north of Weiner, while the broad wetland area known as Ash Spread indicates the persisting marshy character of the bottomlands near Big Creek.
