1935 Map of Sedgwick

About this map

The Cache River and its intricate network of sloughs define the lowland character of this Arkansas delta landscape during the mid-1930s. The topographic detail captures the early development of Greene, Lawrence, and Craighead counties, where life centered on small rural hubs such as Sedgwick, Bono, and the uniquely named Three Way Inn. The terrain is marked by the distinct transition toward Crowleys Ridge in the east, which provided elevated ground for settlements away from the flood-prone bottomlands.
