2010 Map of Bruceton

About this map

Bruceton serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated near the headwaters of several drainages including Cherry Creek and Green Creek. The terrain is characterized by the broad valley of the Big Sandy River, which winds northward through a network of rural roads such as Bruceton-Vale Rd and Old Bruceton Rd. The area's industrial and agricultural history is evident in the water management systems, notably the Hardy Sand Company Lake and C H Sullins Lake, alongside smaller reservoirs like Cole Lake. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, ranging from Greer Cemetery in the north to Crossroads Cemetery near Pea Ridge in the south. The settlement of Priests Spur and numerous family-named routes, such as Whitfield Rd and Sawyers Mill Rd, trace the 20th-century development of these communities between the river and the higher ground of the eastern ridges.
