2011 Map of Damascus

About this map

Cadron Creek and Batesville Creek wind through this central Arkansas landscape, where small rural communities are connected by a network of winding roads like Old Hwy 65 and Solomon Grove Rd. The area is characterized by several distinct ridges and peaks, including Cove Mountain, Round Mountain, and the prominent Duncan Ridge, which dictate the local drainage patterns for tributaries like Shilling Branch and Peavine Creek. For those researching local heritage, the map reveals a high density of burial grounds such as Spires Cemetery, Martinville Cemetery, and Thorn Cemetery. Early transportation landmarks are also preserved on this sheet, including the Quinn Ford and Fishtrap Bridge along the waterway corridors. The proximity of settlements like Damascus, Twin Groves, and Republican highlights the persistent residential pattern of the region's foothills.
