2024 Map of Delaware

About this map

The Arkansas River divides this Central Arkansas landscape, separating the flat bottomlands and northern communities of Knoxville and London from the higher elevations of the Ozark National Forest to the south. This river corridor has long served as a primary transportation and settlement axis, evidenced here by the clustered cemeteries and small communities like Piney, Scotia, and Riverside. Significant topographic landmarks rise above the river valley, including London Mtn, River Mtn, and Charlie Rollans Mtn, while Big Piney Creek and Flat Rock Creek drain the northern interior. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the quadrangle, from the Price Cem near London to the Chastain Cem and Garrison Cem near the southern settlement of Delaware. The southern reaches are defined by several large hollows, including Woods Hollow and Wildcat Hollow, which cut through the hills near Delaware Creek.
