2011 Map of Vanndale

About this map

Vanndale serves as a central point of this Cross County landscape, where the agricultural flats of eastern Arkansas meet an extensive network of water management systems. The western edge is defined by the winding course of the L'Anguille River, while the eastern terrain is marked by a series of reservoirs and flood control structures, including the Caney Creek Site One Reservoir, Gardner Lake, and Pufahl Reservoir. This era of mapping shows a countryside crisscrossed by a rigid grid of county roads, such as Whitby Rd and Tommy Hare Rd, which connect small communities and family landmarks. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Warren Cemetery and Mount Maria Cemetery, while the presence of Fair Field and Mersman provides evidence of the enduring rural settlement patterns in this part of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain.
