2024 Map of Durham

About this map

The White River winds through the heart of this Madison County landscape, carving a valley between prominent elevations like Chicken Bristle Mtn and Pinnacle Mtn. Small settlements and named crossroads define the human geography here, with Durham and Thompson serving as focal points along the river's course. The area's genealogical history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, including Mount Liberty Cem, Shumate Cem, and Walnut Grove Cem, which often sit near family-named landmarks like McHenry Branch or Bushart Mtn. The transport network relies on a web of county roads, such as Co RD 4315 and Madison 6115, that follow the natural contours of the hills and hollows. Interesting local names like Blackland Cove and Rocky Hollow suggest the varied geological character of the Ozark terrain, while water sources like Burchette Spring and Dills Lakes mark essential resources in this rural Arkansas environment.
