2017 Map of Arbela

About this map

The village of Arbela sits at the intersection of State Highway H and State Highway A, surrounded by the agricultural landscape of Scotland County. Several family and community burying grounds, including Conyers Cem and Hickory Grove Cem in the north and Shacklett Cem in the southeast, provide vital touchstones for genealogical research in this rural township. The drainage of the S Wyaconda River and the North Fabius River defines the local topography, with the Old Channel South Wyaconda River indicating shifts in the watercourse over time. Smaller tributaries like Bear Cr and Gunns Br carve through the sections, while the presence of Howard Airport near the center of the quadrangle marks a modern point of transit amidst the traditional farm-to-market roads like Hazel Hill Rd and Tavern RD.
