About this map

Walnut Ridge and the neighboring city of Hoxie anchor this Lawrence County landscape, showing the dense network of roads and rail lines that define this Arkansas crossroads. The map captures a high level of detail in the urban centers, including the Walnut Ridge Post Office and Lawrence Memorial Park, while the surrounding terrain is defined by an intricate system of drainage and irrigation. Waterways like Village Creek, Coon Creek, and the winding White Oak Slough navigate the low-lying areas, alongside man-made features like Little White Oak Ditch and Fry Ditch.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, from the centrally located Walnut Ridge Cemetery to outlying locations such as Pierce Cemetery, Adams Cemetery, and Manning Cemetery. Aviation history is also represented by the Walnut Ridge Regional Airport and smaller facilities like the Johnson Landing Strip and Callahan Landing Strip, illustrating the region's continued importance as a transportation hub. Smaller named locales like College City, Murta, and Ponders provide further points of interest for local historians.
