About this map

The rising elevations of Crowleys Ridge dominate the eastern portion of this Arkansas landscape, creating a distinct upland contrast to the flatter alluvial plains to the west. The city of Wynne serves as the primary hub, where numerous rail lines and roads converge at the edge of the ridge's foot. Moving south toward the Cross and St. Francis County line, the map documents smaller rural communities and crossing points like Fitzgerald Crossing, Wilkins, and Colt.

A complex drainage system of ditches and creeks, including Indian Creek, Turkey Creek, and Bear Creek, flows westward from the ridge toward the L'Anguille River in the southwest corner. The transition from the rugged terrace of the ridge to the river bottoms is marked by features like Cathy Lake and the winding course of Cane Creek, illustrating the natural water management patterns of the region during the 1980s.
