About this map

Bearden serves as the primary residential and commercial anchor in this south-central Arkansas landscape, situated along the Us-79 corridor and its business route, Bus 79. The town's grid of streets transitions into a network of timbered lowlands and creek bottoms that define the border between Ouachita and Calhoun counties. To the north, the small settlement of Harlow is centered around the Harlow Cemetery, while the northernmost reaches include Moss Cemetery and Moss Hill Cemetery, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research in this rural pocket.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Two Bayou and Little Two Bayou meandering through the terrain. The eastern portion of the survey is marked by a series of significant water bodies, including North Pond, Middle Pond, and South Pond, along with numerous named tributaries such as Joe Jack Creek and Cordell Creek. This drainage system suggests a landscape historically shaped by both its natural hydrology and the expansive county road system that connects these remote homesteads and crossroads.
