About this map

Hurricane Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Hurricane Creek and Coney Creek, define the drainage patterns of this central Arkansas landscape. The area is marked by a network of rural communities and crossroads, from the more established Bryant in the southeast to the smaller settlements of Avilla, Congo, and Salem. Local history is preserved in numerous community centers, such as Congo Ch, Lawson Ch, and Holly Springs Ch, alongside several family and community burial grounds like Pipkin Cem and Rose Garden Cem.

Industrial activity is evident through several Quarries located along Big Ridge and the Moore Branch. The presence of a Landing Strip and a Substation near Salem reflects the infrastructure of the late 20th century. Topography varies from the lowlands around the Saline River and Hurricane Lake to more elevated terrain in the northwest, providing a clear record of the region's physical geography during the 1990s.
