2014 Map of Evansville

About this map

Evansville and its surrounding mountain ridges define this borderland where Arkansas and Oklahoma meet. The landscape is characterized by narrow valleys and high ridges like Grapevine Ridge and Hale Mtn, which separate the various forks of the Baron Fork and Evansville Creek. This area is particularly rich for genealogists, featuring an unusually high density of family and community burial grounds, including Bethlehem Cem, English Cem, and Lewis Cem near the town center. Small settlements like Dutch Mills, Morrow, and Odell are connected by a network of winding roads such as Dutch Mills Rd and Hale Mountain Rd. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly steep as it enters the Ozark National Forest, where deep hollows like Ashley Hollow and Tom Jack Hollow cut through the timbered highlands.
