About this map

Bee Branch and Southside anchor the eastern corridor of this Arkansas landscape, where the terrain transitions from the elevations of Harmony Mtn and Hunter Mtn toward the creek-fed valleys below. This area, spanning the border of Conway County and Van Buren County, is defined by a network of drainage ways including Duke Creek and Grassy Creek that feed into the larger East Fork Point Remove Creek.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and ridge lines, with smaller communities like Whipple and Rabbit Ridge connected by a web of local routes such as County Road 819 and Round Spring Road. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including Quattlebaum Cemetery and Lloyd Cemetery, which alongside Blackwell Cemetery serve as lasting markers of the families who established these rural homesteads in the Arkansas interior.
