History and Infrastructure 

Picture
   Woodruff County is located in the Arkansas Delta in North-central Arkansas.  In the 2017 census, the population was 6, 571.  There are five incorporated cities within Woodruff County. The county seat is in Augusta, which is the largest city.  Cotton Plant, Hunter, McCrory, and Patterson are the other incorporated areas.  Gregory, Morton, Pumpkin Bend, Howell, and Hilleman are some of the other communities in the county.  

  The Union Pacific Railroad crosses the county in an east-west corridor in the northern part of the county and also in a north-south corridor across the southeast corner of the county. U.S. Highway 64 is a major east-west corridor for automobile traffic while U.S. Highway 49 on the east side of the county provides easy north-south travel.  Woodruff County is only 22 miles north U.S. Interstate 40, a major national east-west corridor and only 50 miles west of U.S. Interstate 55, a major national north-south corridor.  The county is halfway between Little Rock and Memphis and about an hour's drive south of Jonesboro, Arkansas. 

Our county is blessed with great natural resources, including rich agriculture land and abundant water.  Three rivers provide many recreational opportunities and help replenish our underground water supplies.  The White River runs along the western boundary, the Cache River runs through the middle of the county and Bayou DeView is in the eastern part of the county.  These natural resources, along with abundant public hunting lands and wooded areas, draw hundreds of visitors to our county annually.
