1984 Map of Wittsburg

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises dramatically above the Arkansas Delta, creating a stark geological contrast between the elevated upland terrain and the adjacent river bottomlands. This 1980s landscape is defined by the managed waters of the St Francis River and the St Francis Floodway, which together shape the drainage and geography along the border of Cross and St. Francis Counties. The settlement at Wittsburg and the northern community of Levesque sit at the western edge of this transition, where the ridge's unique topography provided a refuge from the seasonal flooding of the delta.
