1935 Map of Sedgwick

About this map

The Cache River and its complex network of drainage ditches dominate this Northeast Arkansas landscape, reflecting a massive mid-century effort to reclaim the lowlands for agriculture. East of the river, the rising elevation of Crowley Ridge provides a distinct geographic contrast, hosting settlements like Bono and Sedgwick. The area is characterized by small, rural communities and a high density of country schools and churches that served as the social backbone for farming families.
