Lexa, AR

Ireland

Lexa is a tiny Delta farming town of 138 people in Phillips County, surrounded by cotton and soybean fields. Most visitors drive Highway 49 from Helena-West Helena (15 miles northeast) or come from Memphis via the same route, about 75 miles total. The flat agricultural landscape stretches endlessly under Arkansas's humid subtropical climate. Thompson-Robbins Airport nearby serves local crop dusters working the vast farmland.
