2016 Map of Bald Knob

About this map

Spencer serves as a focal point for this survey of the Van Buren and White County line, situated just south of the winding Caney Fork and Great Falls Lake. The landscape is defined by the transition from the plateaus of Bald Knob and Milksick Mtn to the deep hollows of the river valleys. A dense network of local routes, such as Hodges Ferry Rd and Double Bridges Rd, connects small communities like Cummingsville and River Hill. This region is a significant area for genealogical research, as evidenced by the numerous family and community burial grounds documented here, including Gravel Hill Cem, Fraziers Chapel Cem, and Sparkman Cem. The hydrography of the area is particularly complex, with the Calfkiller River and various branches like Hickory Valley Br carving through the terrain toward the larger waterways.
