About this map

Risher sits at the northern edge of this agricultural and wetland landscape, marking a transition from the structured fields of southern Craighead County into the hydrologically complex basin of Poinsett County. The area is defined by an intricate network of waterways and drainage systems, where natural features like Gum Slough and Maple Slough are integrated into modern engineered channels such as Angle Ditch Lateral Number 4 and the Long Pond Or Cache Ditch.

Central to the topography is the Bayou De View, which winds through the southern half of the quadrangle, flanked by significant wetland areas like Ash Spread. For those researching local history or genealogy, Walker Cem is a notable landmark located west of the central marshes. This 2024 data highlights how land management in this part of Arkansas continues to balance large-scale farming with the preservation of interior water bodies like O K Lake.
