2017 Map of Strawberry

About this map

Strawberry and Saffell anchor this pocket of Northeast Arkansas, where the landscape transitions through the Ozark foothills toward the Delta. The Strawberry River winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Steep Bank Cr and Reeds Cr. This 2017 survey reveals a deeply rooted rural community defined by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Mount Zion Cem, Jerusalem Cem, and Lancaster Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for local genealogical research. The road network, comprising routes like Lawrence Road 289 and Pumpkin St Rd, connects these small settlements across the border of Sharp, Lawrence, and Independence Counties. Near the southern edge, the terrain levels out where Caney Cr Ditch and Caney Slough indicate the managed drainage of the bottomlands.
