2020 Map of Danville

About this map

Danville serves as a primary hub in this Yell County landscape, situated where the Petit Jean River flows past the Yell County Danville Courthouse. The settlement pattern follows a clear east-west axis defined by the river and the Belleville Ridge, connecting the communities of Belleville and Corinth. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the northern reaches of the Ouachita National Forest, where the terrain rises sharply into Danville Mtn and Dutch Creek Mtn. Numerous family-named cemeteries, such as Thompson Cem, Lynch Cem, and Harris Cem, are scattered throughout the valley, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research. The area’s infrastructure is anchored by local aviation at Danville Municipal Airport and the Cedar Creek Ranch Airport, while the hydrology is characterized by a network of creeks and small lakes including Cowger Lake and Buckman Lake.
