Do you know of Sunk Land ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Sunk Land. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Sunk Land.<1>

Our sources for Sunk Land (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Sunk Land other than they indicate that Sunk Land would be found somewhere in Craighead County, Arkansas.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1878 and closed  in 1886.
