About this map

Buena Vista anchors the northern portion of this landscape, situated near the headwaters of Howell Br and Ross Cr. This region of south-central Arkansas is defined by its industrial reliance on natural resources, specifically the numerous energy extraction sites that dot the terrain. Significant operations like the Gum Creek Oil and Gas Field and the Pace City Oil and Gas Field indicate the importance of the petroleum industry to the local economy.

Genealogists will find a wealth of community history in the numerous family and church burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, including Whitefield Cem, Haltom Cem, and Pleasant Ridge Cem. The settlement of Pace City sits in the southeast, surrounded by a complex network of creeks such as Gum Cr and Smackover Cr. The road system, including the aptly named Old Wire Rd, follows the undulating topography between these vital watercourses.
