Moving in Jonesboro: FAQ.
What's Crowley's Ridge?
A geologically unique 150-mile elevated ridge running through eastern Arkansas — one of only seven loess (windblown silt) ridges in the world. The ridge rises 200+ feet above the surrounding Mississippi Delta, giving Jonesboro and other ridge towns notably different soil (supporting forest and mixed agriculture) than the flat delta below (dominated by cotton and soybean fields). It's a defining feature of the region's character.
