2020 Map of Watkins Corner

About this map

Big Creek and its many meandering tributaries define this low-lying portion of Phillips County, where the landscape is etched by a complex network of seasonal sloughs and drainage channels. Rural life centers on small crossroads like Watkins Corner and Cypert, connected by a grid of Phillips County roads such as Phillips Road 376 and Phillips Road 631. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for several small burial grounds, including Mount Zion Cem and Lightfoot Cem near Cargo Slough. The distribution of these cemeteries alongside quiet settlements like Connells Point and Kingtown reflects the long-standing agricultural communities that have worked this delta land for generations. The presence of Jessie Slough and Little Cypress Cr illustrates the delicate water table of this alluvial plain.
