About this map

Bald Knob serves as the central hub of this northeast Arkansas landscape, where the confluence of regional drainage and transportation corridors defines the local geography. The map illustrates a transition from the structured street grid of the town to the surrounding rural reaches of Liberty Valley and Wrights Corner. Waterways like Big Mingo Creek and Overflow Creek meander through the terrain, with Lake Bald Knob and the Lake Bald Knob Dam situated just north of the primary settlement.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named landmarks and burial sites, including the Prince Cemetery, Bolden Cemetery, and Gilbert Cemetery. The infrastructure reflects a blend of traditional agricultural access and modern utility, from the Bald Knob Municipal Airport to the various named rural routes like Rocky Point Rd and Coal Chute Rd. The proximity of the Little Red River at Conley Bend in the southwest corner anchors the area's river-bottom geography.
