2014 Map of Wheatley

About this map

The town of Wheatley serves as a central hub on this East Arkansas landscape, where the local street grid including Little Rock St and S Memphis Ave meets the surrounding agricultural expanse. This survey captures a rural network of small settlements and family burial grounds that define the local genealogy, including the Goodwin Cemeteries near Goodwin and the Waldrop Cem north of the main town. The terrain is shaped by the meandering courses of Big Creek and the West Flat Fork Creek, which drain the flat delta lands. Distinctive rural place names like Blossom, Posey, and Nash Corner mark the intersections of county roads, such as Doc Edgar Rd, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns of St. Francis and Lee Counties. Small landmarks like the Pilgrim Rest Cem and Johnson Cem provide specific points of interest for those tracing family history in the region.
