2018 Map of Ariton

About this map

Ariton serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated near the intersection of Clio Rd and W Main St. The surrounding countryside in Dale, Pike, and Barbour counties is defined by a dense network of creeks including Claybank Cr, Pea River, and Sevenmile Cr. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous small burial grounds like the Universalist Cem, Center Ridge Cem, and Post Oak Cem that anchor the various rural communities. Small settlements such as Bethel, Barnes, and Dillard dot the landscape, while the southern edge of the survey reaches into the northern outskirts of Ozark. Water features like W G Barnes Lake and Marvin Parker Lake Number Two suggest a history of local land management and private water rights throughout this agricultural region.
