2024 Map of Bussey

About this map

Bussey and the neighboring settlements of Sharman and Experiment occupy this corner of Southwest Arkansas, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Bayou Dorcheat. This modern survey records the enduring rural character of the border between Lafayette and Columbia counties. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Mill Creek, Bridge Creek, and Crooked Creek threading through the timberland and clearings. Several family and community burial grounds, including Rocky Mount Cem, Friendship Cem, and Sharman Cem, are well-preserved, providing critical points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing families in this area. A grid of county roads, such as Columbia Road 1 and Columbia Road 15, links the small communities and rural homesteads that have persisted along these waterways for generations.
