2014 Map of Alread

About this map

Archey Creek and the South Fork Little Red River carve a complex network of valleys and hollows across this section of the Ozarks. Small communities like Alread, Copeland, and Chimes are scattered along high ridges and narrow bottomlands, connected by a web of rural routes including Highway 16 and Highway 254. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with named features such as Alum Cave Canyon and Rattlesnake Hollow highlighting the varied terrain. For those tracing family roots in Van Buren and Searcy counties, the location of the Liberty Cemetery near Archey Valley provides a specific point of interest. The map documents a rural way of life where geography dictates the layout of settlements and roads like Bohannon Road and Pumpkin Center Road.
