About this map

Maysville sits at the intersection of the Arkansas Oklahoma state line and the Benton Co Delaware Co boundary, serving as a focal point for this borderland survey. The landscape is characterized by a dense concentration of historical burial sites, including Maysville Cem, Moses Fields Cem, and Wann Cem, which are invaluable for genealogical research in this tri-state corner.

A network of local roads such as Breeding Rd and Austin Rd connects the scattered homesteads and small communities like Beaty and Wet Prairie. The area is drained by numerous small waterways, most notably Beaty Cr and Honey Cr, which carve through the terrain as it transitions between the Ozark plateau and the Oklahoma plains. The presence of features like Wet Prairie Cem suggests a long-standing pattern of rural settlement deeply tied to the specific ecological niches of the region.
