Bentonville and the expanding resort-oriented landscape of Bella Vista define this corner of Northwest Arkansas in the early 21st century. The map reveals a complex water-management system of engineered lakes and dams, including Lake Norwood, Lake Ann, and Lake Rayburn, which altered the drainage of Little Sugar Creek and its many hollows. Despite the dense modern residential street grids, older geographic markers persist, such as the Shady Grove Community Hall and several local burial grounds like Oakes Cemetery and Valley View Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by deep ravines like Pinion Hollow and Pumpkin Hollow, while the plateau of Pea Ridge overlooks the valley floor. Natural springs, including Big Spring and Blowing Springs, remain prominent features in the karst-influenced landscape north of the city center.
