About this map

White Oak Bayou and Kellogg Creek carve through the southern reaches of this landscape, anchoring a complex drainage network that includes Leopard Creek and Jim Creek. Small rural communities and named crossroads such as Cato, Brockington Corner, and Gentry Corner mark the transition from the rolling terrain of Clifton Mountain and Pine Ridge to the lowlands. Near the northwestern corner, the waters of Lake Conway are accessible via the Pierce Creek Public Landing, while the presence of Meers Lake Dam indicates local water management for the surrounding residential and agricultural tracts.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family burial sites at Mount Psyam Cemetery and Cato Cemetery, providing essential geographic context for early residents. The mix of infrastructure, from the Bobwhite Hill Ranch Airport to the cluster of roads around Morgan, illustrates the modern connectivity of this Pulaski County corridor. The terrain is defined by distinct elevations like Wilson Hill and Flat Rock Mountain, which have influenced the layout of local roads such as Clinton Road and Faulkner Gap Road.
