1984 Map of Byron

About this map

The Strawberry River and its numerous tributaries, including Ross Branch and Cochran Branch, define the rural landscape along the border of Fulton and Izard Counties. Small communities like Byron and Bexar serve as local hubs in this upland terrain, which is dotted with isolated landmarks such as Mt Pleasant and Shady Grove. The map records a series of established burial grounds, including Liberty Cem and Talley Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Arkansas. The road network connects these small settlements through valleys shaped by Greasy Creek and Markleroad Creek, revealing a settlement pattern where homes and small churches, such as the one at Union, are oriented toward the many creek crossings and a local Gravel Pit.
