About this map

Evening Shade serves as the primary settlement on this Arkansas landscape, situated where Town Branch meets the Strawberry River. The river winds across the northern half of the sheet, joined by tributaries like Piney Fork and Lave Creek. A distinctive topographic feature known as The Backbone rises just north of the town, illustrating the area's characteristic relief.

Genealogists will find a distributed network of local burial grounds, including Fore Cemetery, Lafferty Cemetery, and Barnes Cemetery, which often represent early family settlements near the watercourses. The road network connects rural points like Simstown Rd and Hancock Ln, while smaller streams such as Whaley Creek and Flat Creek drain the southern portion of the quadrangle. This survey captures the rural character of Sharp County at the start of the 2010s, showing a landscape defined by its creek valleys and traditional upland road patterns.
