2017 Map of Stuttgart South

About this map

Agricultural development and water management define this portion of the Grand Prairie, where the city of Stuttgart extends southward across the Prairie Co Arkansas Co line. The map illustrates a landscape transitioned from open prairie to a complex system of rice production, marked by the presence of significant reservoirs like Tindall Reservoir, Daugherty Reservoir, and McDoogle Reservoir. These artificial water bodies, alongside the natural course of Bayou Meto and Elm Prong Mill Bayou, suggest the vital importance of irrigation to the local economy. Genealogists can locate several burial sites including Holy Rosary Cem E 10th Exd, Lone Tree Cem, and Sunshine Cem. Rural road networks like Ricusky Rd and Gregory Fischer Rd connect outlying homesteads and the small settlement of Goldman, reflecting a persistent pattern of family-named landholdings in this part of Arkansas.
