About this map

Byron and Oxford serve as local anchors in this upland region where the Fulton Co Izard Co boundary bisects the landscape. The drainage network is particularly dense here, characterized by the winding Strawberry River and its numerous tributaries such as Greasy Cr, Rose Br, and Cochran Br. This pattern of small creeks and branches historically dictated the placement of early settlements and family cemeteries, which remain key landmarks in the rural geography.

Genealogists will find notable burial sites like Liberty Cem, Talley Cem, and Harmony Cem positioned near old crossroads. Small community centers including Bexar, Union, and Shady Grove are linked by a network of local routes like Bexar Rd and Byron Rd. The presence of Bulls Eye Lake and the uniquely named Spiritual Development Lake adds specific local character to the terrain, reflecting the modern use of the area's water resources amidst established farmland.
