About this map

Wheatley and Goodwin anchor this survey of the Arkansas Delta, where the landscape is defined by the intricate drainage systems of the Flat Fork Cr and Big Creek. The map illustrates a transitional zone where the flat agricultural plains meet the winding waterways of Pony Cr and Child Creek. This region, crossing from St. Francis into Lee County, maintains a traditional rural character marked by scattered small settlements like Blossom and Posey.

Genealogists will find several burial sites for research, including the Goodwin Cemeteries, Waldrop Cem, and Pilgrim Rest Cem. The local transportation network is a mix of established routes like Old Hwy 70 and more specific local landmarks such as Pecan Grove Rd and Lawson Rd. The presence of Hog Tusk Cr and Long Br further highlights the numerous smaller tributaries that have historically shaped the agricultural boundaries of these townships.
