About this map

Sherrill and Tucker anchor this agricultural landscape along the border of Lonoke Co and Jefferson Co. The area is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems and natural waterways, notably the winding Wabbaseka Bayou and its numerous tributaries such as Steep Bayou, Coon Bayou, and Flat Bayou. The map reveals a land heavily engineered for farming, shown through numbered irrigation channels like Lateral Number 8 and Lateral-Number 7.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Hendricks Cem, Fields Cem, and Antioch Cem. The transition from historical river-based transport to modern utility is evident in the presence of Smith's International Airport and Tommy's Flying Service Inc Airport, which support the region's aerial agricultural needs. Small settlements like Ferda remain connected by a grid of rural routes like Richmond Core Rd and State Farm Rd, illustrating the persistent rural character of this Arkansas Delta region.
