About this map

West Memphis and Marion anchor this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Arkansas-Tennessee border. The map illustrates a complex convergence of transit and industry, where the BNSF Railway and major interstate corridors intersect near the Mississippi River. Significant local landmarks include the Southland Park Racetrack and Riverside Speedway, alongside essential regional facilities like the West Memphis Municipal Airport.

Smaller historic settlements and crossroads such as Presley Junction, Mound City, and Hulbert are visible, often situated near the drainage networks of Fifteenmile Bayou and Tenmile Bayou. The presence of the Saint Francis Levee highlights the ongoing engineering required to manage the river's floodplain, while several cemeteries, including Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Saint Johns Cemetery, provide important points of reference for genealogists studying the local families of this riverfront region.
