About this map

Bentonville and its northern suburbs are defined by a complex network of recreation and residential expansion near the Missouri-Arkansas state line. The landscape is characterized by the winding path of The Back 40 Loop, a mountain biking and hiking trail that weaves through the Ozark topography, connecting various residential pockets and water bodies like Lake Ann and Lake Brittany. This modern infrastructure overlays an older rural framework, where small community centers like Little Flock and Pea Ridge are anchored by family-named landmarks and cemeteries.

Historical burial grounds such as Kindley Cem and Oakes Cem remain scattered across the terrain, often located near the headwaters of local drainages like Little Sugar Creek and Spanker Cr. The map captures a moment of significant transition, where established rural hollows like Cash Hollow and Pumpkin Hollow are being integrated into the growing suburban footprint of Northwest Arkansas, while natural features like Blowing Springs and Big Spring continue to mark the limestone-rich geology of the region.
