About this map

The small settlements of Concord and Drasco anchor this portion of North Central Arkansas, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Wolf Bayou and its many tributary hollows. Positioned along the border of Stone and Cleburne Counties, the terrain is characterized by prominent ridges such as McCarty Ridge and Hawkins Ridge, with dramatic vertical features like Victoria Bluffs and Richey Bluff rising above the valley floors. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Bothersome Cr and Fivemile Cr carving through the plateau.

Local history and genealogy are centered on rural landmarks including Macedonia Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and White Cem. The map illustrates a rural economy historically tied to the land, evident in the network of secondary roads like Heber Springs Rd N and Mountain View Rd that connect isolated homesteads and high points like Schoolhouse Hill. Small communities such as Ben and Fivemile appear as key nodes in this sparsely populated region of the Ozark foothills.
