2011 Map of Elkins

About this map

Lake Sequoyah and its prominent dam dominate the central landscape of this Washington County survey, where the White River meets its major tributaries. The settlement of Elkins serves as a local hub in the southeast, situated near the confluence of the Middle Fork White River and the main river channel. This area is defined by a series of significant elevations, including Pierce Mountain, Round Mountain, and Robinson Mountain, which overlook a network of rural communities like Harris, Strain, and Baldwin. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the valley, from the Saint Joseph Cemetery in the northwest to the Stokenbury Cemetery near Elkins. The map traces the winding paths of Mud Creek and Mill Branch, illustrating the complex water drainage system that sustained these upland Arkansas settlements through the early 21st century.
