About this map

Sherrill anchors the southern edge of this Arkansas Delta landscape, where a dense network of drainage canals and bayous supports a legacy of intensive agriculture. The township structure is defined by the winding course of Wabbaseka Bayou and numerous numbered laterals, such as Lateral Number 8 and Lateral Number 4, which crisscross the low-lying terrain. The map captures the small-scale aviation infrastructure essential to modern farming, featuring Tommy's Flying Service Inc Airport and Smith's International Airport near the Jefferson County line.

Local history is preserved in several rural burying grounds, including Antioch Cem and the Mt Pleasant Cem, which stand as landmarks for family researchers in the settlements of Tucker and Ferda. To the north, the boundary between Lonoke County and Jefferson County follows a rigid east-west line, contrasting with the fluid oxbows of Patton Lake and Horseshoe Lake that reveal the shifting history of the region's waterways.
