2014 Map of Delaware

About this map

Lake Dardanelle and the Arkansas River dominate this river-valley landscape, where the confluence of Pope, Johnson, Logan, and Yell counties meets. The northern bank is defined by the transportation corridor of Us-64, linking the settlements of Knoxville, Piney, and London. This area is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Utley Cem near the riverbank and Hon Cem further inland, providing a dense record of local settlement history. South of the river, the terrain rises into the River Mtn and Charlie Rollans Mtn ranges within the Ozark National Forest. The map also captures the industrial footprint of the region through the Knoxville Gas Field and the Mount Nebo Oil and Gas Field, contrasting the rural residential nature of Delaware and Sills with active energy extraction and conservation areas like the Lake Dardanelle State Fish Hatchery.
