About this map

Walcott stands at the transition between the managed wetlands of the St. Francis River basin and the rising topography of Crowley's Ridge. This modern survey illustrates the agricultural land use of Greene County, defined by a network of drainage features like the Main Ditch that allow for cultivation of the flat lowlands to the west. In contrast, the eastern portion of the map reveals the undulating terrain where small settlements like Stanford and Finch are situated among numerous family cemeteries.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through the documentation of sites such as Bethel Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Warren Cem. The area around Walcott Lake serves as a central landmark for the community, while the scattered locations of Faulknerville and other small clusters of homes reflect the enduring rural character of this part of Arkansas. The road network, including Alfred Switzer Rd and Smith Rd, follows both section lines and the natural contours of the ridge.
