2017 Map of Wickes

About this map

Wickes and Grannis serve as the primary hubs in this western Arkansas landscape, situated along a north-south transportation corridor that follows the lower elevations between the Cross Mountains and the Polk Co Howard Co boundary. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages, including the Rolling Fork, Pryor Cr, and Opossum Cr, which carve through the ridges. The distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Witherspoon Cem, Daniel Cem, and Crystal Hill Cem, provides significant geographic markers for local family history and genealogy. Outside the main settlements, the land is etched with numerous forest roads and local routes like Polk Road 13 and Hatton Ln, leading toward landmarks like Bradley Gap and the waters of Brewer Lake.
