2024 Map of Elizabeth

About this map

Elizabeth and Wild Cherry anchor this portion of the Ozark foothills, where the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of the Big Creek and Brushy Creek systems. The map illustrates a rural settlement pattern where communities like Mitchell and Bexar are linked by a network of county roads that follow the winding ridgelines and valley floors. This area along the Fulton Co and Izard Co border preserves a window into the region's genealogical history through sites like Smith Chapel Cem and Myse Cem. The terrain is notably rugged in the vicinity of Kerley Point Cove, where the topography drops sharply toward the various branches of the creek system. The drainage patterns of Hutchinson Creek and North Brushy Creek demonstrate the complex hydrology that has historically dictated road placement and property boundaries in this part of Arkansas.
