About this map

The agricultural wetlands of the Arkansas Delta define this landscape on the boundary of Jackson and Craighead counties. Central to the region is the town of Swifton, situated along the western edge of a complex network of waterways and drainage systems designed to manage the fertile lowlands. The Cache River flows through the southeastern corner, while the wandering paths of Village Creek and Worthington Slough dominate the interior. The presence of numerous man-made channels like Deep Ditch and Willow Ditch illustrates the long-term engineering effort to reclaim and maintain this territory for farming.

Local history is anchored by the Arnold Cem and Worley Cem, providing valuable touchstones for genealogical research in this rural area. The landscape is also marked by Denton Island in the south and the passage of Us-67, which cuts across the northwestern corner. The grid of county roads, including Jackson 75 Rd and Ar-226, connects isolated farmsteads and field boundaries within the Public Land Survey System sections.
