2014 Map of Cane Creek

About this map

Orion and the surrounding drainage basins of Grant County define this rural landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map detail highlights a dense network of local roads such as Stagecoach Rd and Prices Rd that connect scattered family cemeteries, including Gum Springs Cem and Jackson Cem. The terrain is characterized by a complex hydraulic system where the Hurricane Creek and its many tributaries, such as Railroad Br and Price Br, meander through the timbered lowlands. These water features, including Campbell Bayou near the northern boundary, have historically shaped the settlement patterns and road placements in this portion of Arkansas. Genealogists will find the exact placement of local landmarks like Orion Cem and the S Marlow Cem invaluable for locating family burial sites in relation to the evolving road network.
