About this map

Columbus serves as the central hub of this Hempstead County landscape, where the agricultural flats are carved by a dense network of creek systems. The terrain is defined by the branching reaches of Middle Fork Ozan Cr and Sandy Bois d'Arc Cr, creating a topographical pattern of low ridges and stream valleys. Small rural communities like Buck Range and Yancy are connected by a web of local routes such as State Hwy 332 and Yellow Creek Rd, reflecting the area's long-standing rural road network.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Buck Range Cem, Mounds Cem, and the centrally located Macedonia Cem. The presence of Section Sixteen Cem indicates early land divisions and community organization. From the waters of Wilson Pond to the banks of Plum Cr, the map documents a traditional Arkansas landscape of small-scale water features and established family-named landmarks.
