About this map

Wheatley serves as the primary hub of this eastern Arkansas landscape, situated where the interstate corridor intersects with local routes like S Memphis Ave. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems and agricultural boundaries, with Big Creek meandering through the eastern portion and the West Flat Fork Creek and East Flat Fork Creek defining the western terrain. Small rural clusters and named locations such as Goodwin, Blossom, and Nash Corner appear along the regional thoroughfares, reflecting the dispersed settlement patterns of the Grand Prairie region.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds. The map specifically identifies the Pilgrim Rest Cemetery, Waldrop Cemetery, and Johnson Cemetery near the main townsite, as well as the Goodwin Cemeteries further east. These sites, often located near the headwaters of seasonal waterways like Long Branch, provide vital touchstones for family history research in St. Francis County.
