2017 Map of Buena Vista

About this map

Buena Vista sits at the junction of several county routes in this portion of south-central Arkansas, surrounded by a landscape defined by its many creek branches and cemeteries. The settlement of Pace City is located to the southeast, positioned near the waters of Gum Cr. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Holcomb Cr, Beech Cr, and Cypress Cr, all feeding toward the larger Smackover Cr at the southern boundary. For genealogists and local historians, this map is a significant record of family and community burial sites. Numerous small cemeteries are scattered throughout the quadrangle, such as Whitefield Cem, Good Hope Cem, Haltom Cem, and Tate Cem. The presence of Lake Landers in the northwest and various small crossings like Reeds Br and Howell Br illustrate the hydraulic character of the Ouachita County uplands.
