About this map

Brookland serves as the central hub of this Northeast Arkansas landscape, where the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor dictates the alignment of local development. This 2011 survey reveals a dense network of rural settlements and named family heritage sites, including Goobertown, Antioch, and Aetna. The terrain is defined by a series of south-flowing drainages like Thompson Creek and Birch Creek, which carve through the agricultural grid.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the quadrangle, from Liberty Cemetery in the north to Cooper Cemetery near Jonesboro Junction. The mapping of small communities like Bethel and Tunis, alongside thoroughfares such as Greene Road 721 and Pine Log Trl, offers a precise look at the transition between established towns and the outlying rural homesteads at the start of the 2010s.
