About this map

The Cache River serves as the primary natural divide in this region of Arkansas, tracing the winding boundary between Lawrence and Greene counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems and waterways designed to manage the low-lying terrain, including the Tupelo Slough, Negro Head Slough, and Buffalo Head Slough. Small agricultural crossroads and rural settlements like Fontaine, Whiskerville, Walnut Corner, and Light anchor the local community, connected by a grid of county roads and state routes such as Ar-231. Genealogists will find significant local value in several rural burial sites, including Fender Cem, Ray Cem, Jenkins Cem, and Shady Grove Cem, which remain as long-standing markers of family history amidst the surrounding timber and farmland.
