2014 Map of Bismarck

About this map

Bismarck and the surrounding Arkansas communities of Lambert and Oak Bower are shown here as they appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the northern reaches of De Gray Lake, where the shoreline meets the rising terrain of the Ouachita foothills, including Needles Eye Mtn. The map reveals a transition from the structured residential clusters of Bismarck to the more dispersed rural homesteads along Finch Rd and Lambert Rd. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Pleasant Hill Cem, Forrest Hill Cem, and De Roche Cem near the settlement of Old De Roche. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of De Roche Cr and Holly Cr as they feed into the lake, alongside the strategic placement of the Bismarck Lookout Tower overlooking the wooded ridges.
