2011 Map of Cove

About this map

Hatfield and Cove serve as the primary hubs in this corner of western Arkansas, situated along a transit corridor where the terrain begins to transition into the Ouachita foothills. The settlement pattern here is deeply rooted in local communities and family heritage, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries including Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Buffalo Cemetery, and Westview Cemetery. Smaller pockets like Pleasant Hill and Plunketville dot the landscape, connected by a network of rural routes such as Welcome Home Rd and Brushyridge Rd. The hydrology of the region is dominated by winding watercourses like the Mountain Fork and Sixmile Creek, which have historically shaped the agricultural and residential development of Polk County. This map documents the area during a period of steady rural character, showing the persistent layout of local landmarks and church-adjacent burial grounds like Cecil Chapel Cemetery.
