2011 Map of Senath

About this map

The Saint Francis River meanders across this alluvial landscape along the Missouri-Arkansas border, defining a complex drainage network that includes Grassy Slough, Kinnemore Slough, and the Old Channel Varney River. The town of Senath serves as the primary hub in this agricultural region, supported by smaller settlements and industry sites like Mitchell Mill and Johnson Mill. The terrain is characterized by slightly elevated features such as White Oak Ridge and several named islands, including Blue Cane Island, Allen Island, and Two Mile Island, which suggest the historic path of the river through these lowlands. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented here, including Lanier Cemetery, McGrew Cemetery, and Leonard Cemetery. Transport in the early 21st century relied on a grid of county roads and local levee routes, while rural aviation is marked by the Skelton Landing Strip and Aviation Landing Strip.
