2020 Map of Brownsville

About this map

Greers Ferry Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, its intricate shoreline creating numerous inlets and landforms like the Silver Ridge Peninsula and Scout Island. Along the northern shores and upper reaches of Budd Cr and Rocky Br, the terrain rises toward Bear Mtn, cut by deep hollows such as Wildcat Hollow and Simmons Hollow. The settlement pattern reflects both traditional rural life and modern lakeside development, with the established community of Brownsville and historic sites like Holland Cem and Pleasant Ridge Cem situated north of the newer resort area of Eden Isle. Regional connectivity is anchored by the Phalanx Airport near the lake's edge and the larger Heber Springs Municipal Airport to the southeast, while natural landmarks like Brownsville Spring and Dripping Spring speak to the area's hydrology before and after the reservoir's creation.
