2017 Map of West Memphis

About this map

West Memphis and Marion dominate the landscape of eastern Arkansas along the bend of the Mississippi River. The region is defined by its complex hydrology, with Tenmile Bayou and Fifteenmile Bayou winding through the alluvial plains of Lloyd Bottom. This era shows significant educational and transit infrastructure, including the Arkansas State Univ Mid-South campus and the West Memphis Municipal Airport. Local history is preserved in sites like Pleasant Hill Cem and Saint Johns Cem, while smaller named communities such as Presley Junction, Wylie Spur, and Briark dot the outskirts of the larger urban centers. The massive river levee system and the presence of Vice Presidents Island Number Forty-six illustrate the engineering required to manage the river's influence on the surrounding Crittenden County terrain.
