About this map

Cache River meanders across the border of Lawrence and Greene Counties, defining a landscape of wetlands and drainage networks including Tupelo Slough and Buffalo Head Slough. The rural character of the region is punctuated by small settlements such as Fontaine, Whiskerville, and Light, which are connected by a grid of numbered county roads. This area is characterized by its agricultural engineering, visible through features like Float Road Ditch and Lateral Number 1.

For family historians, several burial grounds are preserved across the quadrangle, including Fender Cem in the north and Shady Grove Cem near Fontaine. The map identifies specific local tracts such as Pease Country, providing geographic context for the region's land divisions. The presence of Walnut Corner and scattered residences along routes like Roosevelt / Stallings Rd illustrates the late 20th-century settlement pattern in this part of Northeast Arkansas.
