2014 Map of Walnut Ridge

About this map

Walnut Ridge and neighboring Hoxie anchor this Lawrence County landscape, where the confluence of major regional highways and a network of drainage ditches shapes the local geography. The map illustrates a developed transportation hub centered around the Walnut Ridge Regional Airport and the convergence of Us-67, Us-63, and Us-412. Beyond the urban centers, the terrain is defined by a complex system of waterways designed for agricultural management, including White Oak Slough, Marrow Bone Slough, and Little White Oak Ditch. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented across the township, such as Whittaker Cem, Adams Cem, and Austin Cem. The layout of streets and small settlements like Murta and Dicus reflects the area's ongoing importance as a crossroads in northeastern Arkansas, maintaining its character through a blend of aviation history and fertile alluvial plains.
