2014 Map of Bethesda

About this map

The White River and its varied tributaries like O'Neal Cr and Lafferty Cr shape this landscape along the border of Independence, Izard, and Stone counties. The settlement pattern is defined by rural communities and family-named ridges, including Collietown, Harmontown, Bethesda, and New Hope. Industrial activity is evident at The Quarry near the eastern edge of the map, while the local history of the region is preserved at sites such as Pilgrims Rest Cem and Campground Cem. Higher elevations like Waugh Mtn and Mose Mtn overlook a network of creek bottoms and hollows, such as Pitman Hollow and McDermon Hollow, which dictate the winding paths of local roads. Small-scale water features like Vaughn Wilson Lake and Waugh Pond appear alongside notable river landmarks including York Island and Speak Point at the southern boundary.
