About this map

The agricultural wetlands of the Arkansas Delta define this landscape, where the Lonoke Co and Jefferson Co line divides a territory of bayous and engineered drainage. The settlement of Sherrill sits in the south, anchored by Tommy's Flying Service Inc Airport, reflecting the region's reliance on aerial application for its vast field crops. Further north, the smaller communities of Tucker and Ferda are surrounded by a complex network of ditches like Lateral Number 8 and Lateral Number 7, which manage the low-lying terrain near the winding path of Wabbaseka Bayou.

Family history and local heritage are preserved in numerous rural burial grounds, including Hendricks Cem, Tucker Cem, and the Antioch Cem located near the intersection of N McKinney Rd. The presence of Smith's International Airport and specialized agricultural infrastructure among landmarks like Patton Lake and Dudley Lake illustrates the modern evolution of this traditional cotton and rice-growing heartland.
