2020 Map of Buena Vista

About this map

Buena Vista sits at the heart of this landscape, where the rolling timberlands of southern Arkansas are marked by a dense network of county roads and family-named cemeteries. The terrain is defined by the drainages of Smackover Cr and its tributaries, including Gum Cr and Mill Cr, which carve through the countryside. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides an exceptional record of family burial sites, from Whitefield Cem and Pleasant Ridge Cem to the clustered Haltom Cem and Watkins Cem in the southwestern corner. The presence of Lake Landers near the upper boundary and the winding paths of Jerdon Cr and Beech Cr further illustrate the hydrology of Ouachita County. This survey reflects the modern rural character of the region, where legacy land divisions like t14s r18w still govern the layout of properties and roads.
