2011 Map of Watkins Corner

About this map

Big Creek and Coffee Creek meander through this section of Phillips County, defining a landscape dominated by agricultural fields and drainage patterns. The rural communities of Watkins Corner, Cypert, and Gobell serve as local anchors, connected by a grid of Phillips and County roads. The terrain is notably flat, punctuated by the low-lying Cargo Slash and Jessie Slough, which illustrate the water-management challenges of the Mississippi Delta region. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, including Mount Zion Cemetery, Lightfoot Cemetery, Taylor Cemetery, and Coffee Creek Cemetery. These sites, often situated near the small settlements of Kingtown or along the winding banks of Little Cypress Creek, offer a clear spatial record of the area's social history and the enduring legacy of early Arkansas homesteads.
