About this map

Searcy and the surrounding river bottoms of Central Arkansas are defined here by a dense network of waterways and small agricultural towns. The White River meanders across the center of the sheet, feeding into complex wetland systems like the Hurricane Lake State Wildlife Management Area and Black Swamp State Wildlife Management Areas. These riparian corridors are bordered by the Missouri Pacific RR, which connects several significant settlements including Bald Knob, Judsonia, and Beebe.

The transition from the floodplains of the Cache River and Bayou De View in the east to the rising terrain of Georgia Ridge and Cadron Ridge in the west illustrates the varied landscape of White and Woodruff counties in the mid-1980s. Local transit and commerce are anchored by the Searcy Municipal Airport and a grid of state highways that link the smaller communities of Cotton Plant, McCrory, and Augusta.
