About this map

The rolling corridor between Benton and Bryant in Saline County is defined by a dense network of suburban development and agricultural land. Significant water features such as Hurricane Lake and the winding Hurricane Creek shape the local geography, providing a natural backdrop to established residential areas. For family historians, the presence of Pipkin Cem, Cameron Cem, and Rose Garden Cem offers critical points of reference within this evolving landscape.

Rural communities like Congo, Avilla, and Salem maintain their identities along thoroughfares like Salem Rd and W Lawson Rd. The transition from the more elevated terrain of Big Ridge in the north to the water-rich lowlands around Helmich Lake and Maertins Lake illustrates the area's diverse topography. This modern survey effectively documents the intersection of expanding municipal footprints with traditional Saline County settlements.
