2020 Map of Tuckerman

About this map

Tuckerman and the surrounding Jackson County lowlands are defined by a complex network of managed waterways, including Village Creek and various agricultural drainage structures like Pompeys Ditch and Cage Ditch. This 2020 landscape illustrates the integration of higher education and regional infrastructure, anchored by the Arkansas State University Newport campus and the adjacent Newport Regional Airport. Smaller communities such as Campbell Station and Diaz flank the primary transit corridors, while the presence of numerous small burial grounds, including Gracelawn Cem and the Harper-Barnes Cem, provides a detailed record of local family history and rural settlement patterns. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of Newport to the natural wetlands of Tupelo Brake, reflecting the area's ongoing relationship with the White River valley's hydrological systems.
