About this map

The lowlands of eastern Arkansas are defined by the winding course of Big Cypress Cr, which dominates this section of the Mississippi Delta landscape. Near the settlement of Rondo, the creek transitions through a series of bends, shaping the agricultural layout and placement of rural communities like Vineyard and Cypress Corner. The area is notably dense with small community burial grounds that reflect the local family and congregational history of Lee and Phillips counties.

Genealogists can identify several distinct cemeteries including Mt Zion Cem, Paradise Cem, and the uniquely named Possum Trot Cem. Further south, across the Lee Co Phillips Co line, the map identifies Edgewood and the Friendship Cem. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of these small rural hubs and their respective landmarks, such as Pilgrim Cem and Rehoboth Cem, within a landscape primarily dedicated to large-scale agriculture.
